There will be plenty of slots on the 747 over the next 3 years. Lots of retirements. With the way marketing moves the flying around I doubt the 747 will ever see a base change. DTW will be it until they are retired. I know a former NW Captain who wants a whale bid and is ticked that none of the Captains are going early. He hoped they would leave before the fence came down and take one for the team. 747 bids should get more numerous next spring.
