Thanks!
MSP widebody has been in a downward spiral for several years. Rumors have been floated around that it may see a 777 base, I wouldn't bet on it. Most live locally and yes it was HDQ for NWA so it has it's fair share of DAL North guys, it has become a relatively senior. Not sure what the future holds for MSP. The only sure bet bases IMO are ATL and NYC, the rest are just along for the ride. I don't think DTW or MSP will go away anytime soon, but you never know. It appears SEA will grow and will most likely be the new gateway to Asia.
If you can handle NYC it will give you the best equipment and rapid movement for years to come. The downside, you have to cover three airports.
Hope that helps!
