You're thinking too simplistically. They didn't move the flying, but there was already a ton of NE to Florida flying. So instead of starting your trip in JFK and flying to FLL, You start your day and fly to JFK. That NE to Florida trip can be staffed by someone originating from either base, depending on how it was planned to be staffed.
