No. That would take WAY too much into account. The only thing it considers is training slots and the contractual hierarchy of who goes in what order.
I think there will indeed be quite a few sitting around. But you do have to consider that there are some who will never make it to training because of their retirement/flow/resignation.
AFAIK, there has been no official announcement about when the 145s will be gone in ORD. They may end up sending pilots back there TDY from DFW to cover it depending who is still available based on the training order and draw down.
The other interesting part is the Air Wisconsin part. They have 60 planes, which is more than ENY has 145s. I think they will have to push some of those planes down to DFW, even though that has not been talked about either.
