Just trying to figure out which is a safe pick for a guy looking to stay in DTW and get a good QOL as quickly as possible. Thanks!
The DTW fleets should be stable. The 717 and 737 are new and both planned to expand in DTW. The 717 just entered the fleet 6 months ago and at least two more bases will open up in the next 18 months. They will not impact DTW. At some point the 747 category will go away but nothing is planned for at least 4 years. It's likely the replacement will go there so no real impact on the base.
