Indeed! Still, wowsers. We've always been so Midwest-centered.
Now I wonder whether the "migration" is also a shrinking. The discussion about the number of departures out of MSP and the migration timeline didn't include ANY words about the corresponding increase out West. Not even lip service. This is management speak for bad news. I'm afraid we're shrinking further.
The big question, as others have said, is what will the MSP crews do. I wonder how many can Sun County take. Also, I'm thinking that at least some of the senior "Delta or bust" guys will start considering other options, at least in the interim. Say JetBlue. I know that's what I would do. I'd much rather commute east across one time zone to a growing LCC than west across two time zones to a regional in turmoil.
