(by "extra 1900", I mean 1900 more than was expected from the hrs AMR was removing)
I think the need for pilots in the northeast(JFK/LGA) will be continuous. Nobody wants to be based in NYC and we had a big demand for LGA pilots even before all this displacement/base closure stuff. This particular flying may be seasonal, but in the long run NYC will be a major base much like ORD/DFW today.
