The only reason LAX got junior is because they grew it at both the top end by adding all that 777 time, and at the bottom with the 717. Somehow I don't see that happening in MSP so it'll always be a senior base, more so since it used to be a huge NW base with international wide body flying based there.
The guys who own houses there who were A330 Captains now have to commute to somewhere else or bid down to the 767 if they want to stay in MSP, that's what makes it so senior. It won't get a lot more junior until all those guys have retired.
