While it will likely "pull on NYC" a bit, that's not a bad thing in any way. NYC is artificially oversized with commuters anyway, so pulling some of that out and into a base that is easier to commute to or local for many isn't a bad thing. Anyone living or commuting to NYC would still have tons of options for flying.

I guess the vairable in the NY base, with the forthcoming BOS base, is how many of the more senior Boeing folks are going to chunk a rock and (gasp) move to the bus. It's not hard (as I've posted before). Bus variants are very simple airplanes. I would find it difficult to fathom continuing to commute to NY base from the far NE (NH, VT, MA etc) than taking the 330 in BOS and being able to drive to work. If enough of those senior folks in NY decide to move over to the 330 (sorry forgot lots of 330 NY pilots live up in the far NE too so there is that dynamic) that could create some decent movement in the NY base. Again, spitballing here but it's a fun exercise. You've been around DAL long enough to know the mob is indeed fickle.

Precisely why I posted what I did

Most that fall under that paragigm are doing it solely for a seniority bump. The folks I'm talking about are top 10%'ers. They've got seniority no matter where they go or stay.
