Ok here is what I was told by three different sources and the numbers are really close
DTW 58 each Aand B 777
765 ATL -90A and -140B
767 ATL -136 in each A and B seat
About 35 A 7ER seats + ATL probably around 70B
73n A and B about 17-20+ seats
About 25+ ATL 88 A and B
ATL down about 220 slots. Should see about 100 extra positions than displacements which means we will have about 100 seats that are not filled.

You figure out what to do with your flight bag - some carry theirs home, others leave it in JFK or LGA.
EWR is a haul from JFK, I'll tell you that. It may seem close, but in a car or by public transport, it's not.

2) Is NYC765 going to be +90 in the A and +140 in the B?
3) Any other growth in NYC? I know you live in ATL and the people you talk to probably live there too, but it's a big airline.

Keep your kit with you. Reasonable time as stated by the PWA. Get to know and love public transportation.

On short call, reasonably available is generally considered to be at one of the airports within 2 to 3 hours. Unforeseen circumstances (weather, bridge closings, etc) will reasonably cause that time to be greater. My understanding is that you're expected to be able to be reasonably available to one of the airports. It might take more time to get out to EWR in another words or vice versa.
The trip kit stays with me as a reserve pilot. Also don't forget the Marine Air Terminal at LGA is a little more of a complication/hassle when trying to commute into the main LGA term with a trip out of the MAT.

4) So your're saying... we're gonna be 100 pilots short after this bid... which might mean... Entry Level pilots?

You cover all three, but your "promptly available" call-out is measured from EWR, LGA or JFK, your choice.
You figure out what to do with your flight bag - some carry theirs home, others leave it in JFK or LGA.
EWR is a haul from JFK, I'll tell you that. It may seem close, but in a car or by public transport, it's not.

Thanks for info

I know the northern guys are used to a specific call-out time, but that is no longer.
Generally, 90%+ of the 757/767 flying is out of JFK at the present time. Most of the M88 flying is out of LGA, with most of the rest out of JFK with a little bit out of EWR. The 737 is more more JFK flying than the others, but don't hold me to that. Someone posted a more specific breakdown, but I can't find it.
