It will probably affect the ATL market the most, but we do have tons of commuters in NYC as well. Just think, one full flight from MEM-ATL with 5 commuting pilots that must get on. That's a lot of dough. Plus inconveniencing the passengers could hurt the brand. Just look at United's example, one incident cost them millions and was a huge PR disaster. This would prevent a lot of those instances from occurring, but at the expense of retirees.
Then again, the retirees would be bumped first by the commuter policy anyway...
