How did you come to that conclusion? I'd agree that the 15+ year guys can't go for the paycut and extreme loss of seniority, but the middle-of-the-road captains should be able to make the jump with no problem, regardless of the family situation. Being based in JFK vs CVG has nothing to do with it, in my academic opinion of course.
