Yes it will! Many might hold off until they know they can get east coast bases. Union put a letter warning people.

How long would it take to get back to a east coast base from a LAA base?

Could be years because the seniority list are separate. That's why a few will bypass.

well you pass you lose seniority, so bypass has a long term negative cost.

Not to bad really as the hiring will be crazy over the next few years. Many at Piedmont live in the Northeast and many really wanted PHL or DCA which are really easy commutes. Many of the ones flowing now are older with kids in college or close to it. Waiting a few months and getting PHL could be worth it over getting LAX, DFW or MIA especially since it going to take a long time get the list together.

Most of the guys flowing right now are 60 anyways. Ok now you'll get some 50 something that's going to wait a little while. Then he/she will still retire in 15 years. What's a year to somebody like that?
