After SOC, I imagine we are going to be the worlds largest commuter, as in pilots commuting to work, airline. There is no telling where aircraft are going to end up. But we will have displacements and then we will see how many fNWA guys are complaining when they go from commuting to work as an A320B in DTW to commuting to work at ATL as a 75/76B.
Not all the Dal-N guys are going to be happy with a displacement. A lot of the ANC folks live there and like it. Also as the -200 flying goes away most of these guys will all go to lower paying equipment. As for me I may get bumped from the -400 and the only position that pays equal or better that I can hold is a -9, which is way too much work for me...... I am not complaining but rather pointing out that all is not roses on our side either.
