They are adding 70 captains (all in ATL) I can guarantee that IF any of those come from MSP captains they won't be replaced, IF they come from NY captains they will be replaced, and DTW is likely they will be replaced but I can't guarantee that. As far as FO backfilling, who knows as it will likely be tied to balancing the captain staffing. Overall system wide, yes we are adding captains... just not in the traditional places this company came from... The new reality of this company is New York or Atlanta... A new hire shouldn't even consider MSP or DTW as a possibility at this point.
