I like the MOAB concept, we take a sharp stick in the eye one time and its done. The alternative is a painful tweak, followed by another and another... death by paper cut. Git 'er done.
I hope they're smart and just post AEs with no displacements initially. They can see how it shakes out, minimize the impact on the pilot group that is happy where they are, and save the company some money on retraining. They could then do small cleanup AEs monthly to get the rest of the people where they want them. If they are heavy on the displacements this is going to be a rough place to work for quite a while with way too many movements, training events, and a large number of really POed pilots.
Handled well this could be a win or at worst a neutral for most involved. Handled heavy handedly and poorly, this could set the stage for a miserable place to work for years to come I'm afraid.
