That's the only rumor I have heard.
That has to be pretty much dead-on as they have stopped hiring. No one is coming in to fill the junior bases so they can't let folks move out and leave the positions uncovered. Just makes sense, unfortunately. What you get on new hire day one you will be stuck with for a while. Hopefully, we get more aircraft before the merger and let folks bid around before integration.
