Look how much shuffling Delta has done since 2008 (the beginning of the merger with Northwest)
Right now 900 Captain in either DTW or MSP is a pipe dream for anyone under 10 years and a line holder is looking at probably more like 15 (it's hard to judge right now because of the debacle of the Bloch award... 07 Colgan holding lines while 01 Mesaba on reserve)
What's been officially stated is all talk of New York and Atlanta recently... Questions about MSP and DTW have been deftly deflected, much like questions about a flow... you make your own conclusions...
