Hmm...wonder if CVG will even get through 2010 without turning into another IND.
Only the 767-ER pilots are being displaced; the pilot base remains open. There are still domestic pilots based in CVG for the 737 and/or the MD88 and at this time there are no plans to move those pilots.
With SEA gaining two new Asia routes this summer and CVG staying with just the one daily 763 to CDG it makes sense for this move. However the other side is the SEA base will likely lose the A330 from the NW era and pilots will have to transition to the 763.
