The pilots and aircraft are all being displaced. The planes will go to DFW. The pilots will go to whatever location is on their displacement bid. Some will chose DFW to stay on the S80. Others will chose other bases and aircraft for an easier commute and/or better pay (or pay protection).
I would guess that the STL closure will cause at least a slight increase in the need for DFW S80 Pilots.
