except for a few chasing super seniority in the right seat, without a displacement, why would any existing fo bid for the 737? They’ll be collecting min guarantee for several months as they endure a likely messy training cycle. This will make bottom 50-75% of the 737 in these bases extremely junior (read: new hires with a seat lock). And as has been said, they will be stuck in Sfb or pie for many months as no additional bases are going to open til very late 2024/early 2025.
