DTW as a 73 base could happen at some point within the next 2 years. DL has way too many 73 bases for the size of the fleet as it is to justify opening up another one anywhere. But I think as the 100 additional 737's come on line DTW will see a 73 base as well as either a 717 base or a rebuilding of the 320 base that was canibalized to fund shifting the Roosevelt hotel bill from the company to the pilots.
