Hope you enjoy flying an obsolete jet in the most challenging weather and airspace in the country, 20 minutes at a time.
I think their real angle here is hoping to displace some of the junior 145 FOs into a NFE status, thus avoiding the 3 months of A pass travel and hotels that they'd have to give new hires but not somebody being forced from a different base.
If you're barely holding an OFE status right now, be very afraid.
