It means they are fat on EMB FOs and CAs in DFW and they need more of them in LGA and JFK. I'm betting that there will be around 75 total FO displacements just from DFW as the EMB guys that want to stay will bump junior guys off the ATR to stay in DFW rather than commute. As far as displacements from other bases as a result of it is anybody's guess. The smelly brown stuff rolls downhill, it's not good for any of us that are junior in DFW.

As far as hiring I wouldn't expect it. If hiring does happen in 2009 expect to be sent to the northeast.
