I was here. I remember that the company was afraid that flying would not be covered due to harassment by the 49ers. I do not remember any trips not getting covered or a significant decrease in green slips. I remember green slips being flown by different people who were not necessarily senior.
The bottom line is that there will always be enough pilots to fly green slips. The only limit will be their FAR block time limitations.
