Basically it's going to further exacerbate the extreme seniority needed to hold MSP and DTW 900. It will likely be over 12 years just to hold captain (and if you aren't in the position already, there is no way to get there) and probably approaching 20 to hold a line as captain. I know there are a few guys looking at bidding back to 200 captain to get off reserve, but can't because there still aren't any openings in MSP or DTW for that either.... if they backfill on 17-01, they will likely be voluntary downgrades of 900 captains that don't like the looks of several years on reserve on the 900 and don't want to go to New York.
