I'd say you and all the other regional drivers don't have anything to be worried about as the attrition will come from the top of the seniority list due to pilots upgrading to the Majors, rather than furloughs at the bottom. Hiring may slow at some locations but pick up at others. If you are worried about losing feeder service in ATL in favor of JFK, count the number of Delta tails on E concourse some time... there are plenty of international departures out of the southeast US. From a passenger stand point ATL is a much better international gateway than JFK and there are plenty of southerners that need to hitch a ride on a big ole jet plane to get around the world.
