the number of EWR will remain the same. But I suspect that they continue to get CA wherever they can and that may result in a shrinking pilot domicile

UA should just open a MEM hub. Plenty of gate space, 4 runways, good mid-south location that fills in a huge gap in their network, low labor cost, low cost of living, no income tax, better weather than EWR (most of the time) similar crime rate to Chicago.

This will likely accelerate the shift to significantly increase ops at MCO (and maybe TPA). There's no reason to continue to rely on a base that is so predictably substandard in both the Summer and Winter months. You still get a strong East Coast hub (in addition to IAD), weather (especially winter weather) is very comparable to ATL and MIA, and you don't have to deal with the deteriorating political situation in the NY/NJ corridor (which, by the way, is why fewer and fewer pilots/ATCers want to live there).
UAL has been at a huge disadvantage in not having a southeastern hub between IAD and IAH. Now they will.
EWR seems primed to expand the number of slots for UAL (https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/new...ys/ar-AA1djiUk), but I would be surprised if the damage hasn't been done and you don't see a massive shift to MCO starting 12-24 months from now.

Between the crime, tornadoes, and earthquake potential, MEM is not a safe place to live.
