At Endeavor, on the FO side, MSP will likely be much quicker for a new hire. For captain upgrade, it's likely going to be a while as that is the base with the most lifer captains, followed closely by DTW. The fastest upgrade is and probably will be for some time, in New York.
That's not true at all. All of the DTW captains are eligible to flow within the next 9 months and I don't see anyone on the list that plans to stay with Compass. There are 19 FOs currently in DTW who will all be eligible to upgrade (and hold LAX) by June. That means there's about a 2% chance that a a couple will make their way to MSP by the fall.
