There's truth here but the real story is that there are much better options these days.
I'm glad I spent a year at Sunny and it was a good experience for the most part. I have good memories and I'm a Twin Cities 'semi-local' though not a true Twin Cities native. I would have been happy to spend the rest of my career there, not commuting. But the economics don't work in a field of LCCs with better networks and probably a stronger future and all the majors are hiring like crazy and it's only going to get more crazy.
The fact is that in 2017 there are many better options, especially if you're not a true local committed to living in the Twin Cities area.
