Until the new Q's come next year, there won't be any movement. Buuuut, on a brighter note, the next batch of Q's has been confirmed that some, if not all, will be going to IAH. When that happens, IAH will go VERY senior for the Q. IAH is already a senior base for both CA and FO, and I know of several people who would transfer back to IAH in a heartbeat when the Q goes there.

EWR, my guess is, will go junior relatively quickly once the Q's start heading to IAH, and all the new and junior Q's CAs will either stay in EWR if they are already based there, or will transfer from the Saab to the Q. There are quite a few very senior CAs in IAH that have refused to transfer to the Q until it shows up on IAHs doorstep.
