I doubt that "a lot" will upgrade... they could have already done that, there was a reason they chose to remain as FO's in the first place: schedule.
Anybody at risk of getting displaced from the left seat is junior enough that they knew about the merger when they got hired. Not like a couple hundred bus pilots came out of nowhere and blind-sided them... this has been coming for seven years
And I think the large majority of those at risk of getting bumped were DOH on the SLI anyway.
Bus pilots will not all stay in one base either.
