Welcome aboard.

The MSP-MDW commute is a busy one. The last number I remember seeing was somewhere around 130-160 MSP commuters. Most of us commute to MDW and a few commute out west due to better seniority and a little less competition for the jumpseat. We have 8 flights a day and Delta Connection has around 8. I think we go down to 6 flights a day in the winter. The flight I commuted down on this past week had seven of us on it. It's not always like that but there are usually always two or three of us. The union put something out a few months back and MSP took 4th place for most commuters behind only ATL, SAT and BNA.

Bottom line is there are a bunch of us doing that commute. It is doable though. Hope this helps.
