This same shift is apparently planned to occur again.
The first few classes will very likely end up with a mix of 88, 9, 320, and 73N slots.
I imagine NYC, DTW, and MSP will make up the majority of those slots, with possible ATL or LAX.
The difference with this widebody increase is that because of the 20 year fence at NWA you had a large number of NWA guys who could not fly the widebodies. I suspect that those fNWA guys who could not fly the equipment before will go to it now, even if it is NYC.
