That's what they told us in class last week when we all got our aircraft assignments, which makes sense especially if you're most likely gonna get what you want on the next vacancy bid anyway. We had about 7 guys get the 900 between DTW, and NYC, 2 MSP 200 guys, and the rest of us got DTW 200. When we looked today in class at the last vacancies it looked like most guy's just went to DTW if the wanted the 900 and just took MSP on the 200 of thats what they really wanted.
