Ah, but the caveat is that we are currently being told that the amount of flying in CVG won't change. Whether or not that will be the case is open to speculation but the official stance from Stamper is the CVG volume of flying will remain the same. No one really knows how this will play out, thus ALPA has so far been silent on the subject.
