This is true--the bottom 20 73 guys got pushed out of SLC, and about 13 ended up at LAX... wierd reversal, as LAX has been senior for several years.
I think the SD > SLC commute is touchy... 5 flights, all Delta, only 3 mainline. LAX > SLC has 15 flights a day, several are delta. Not sure about DTW, but it's definitely doable. I think living in SD would make for a LONG drive to LAX to catch reliable flights to SLC, and I sure wouldn't want to do it if I was reserve!
