Look at the 330 rotations out of MSP that do flying out of ATL.
Look at the parings that do a significant flying out of ATL. Many of then have DH's in the paring. Point is that if they can relocate a category and save on those DH's it is a savings of not just money but pilot positions.
As for the size of these rumored categories, who knows. The 320 does a ton of NYC flying too, but there is not talk of a base up there. It all comes down to the most efficient place for a crew to start and end a trip.
