Amigo. Even MSP has folks that have moved in under 12 months of employment. It may be slower than desired, but it still happens. Don't be worried about immediacy in this industry, but doing the best based upon current circumstances. All will settle out eventually, even if a base has difficulties in the short term....
Don't worry....be happy!! Thousands of people want to be in your position!
I'm not worried about it but was just pointing out that MSP can be a very tough nut to crack. In MSP, the plug on the 7ER got hired over 3 years ago and for the 320 almost 2 years ago. The plug on the 737 got hired Jan 2017. The only folks that got in under 12 months were a handful of MD88 FOs and we all know what their fate is going to be. I'm on year 9 and have remained stagnant because very rarely do people junior to me backfill my category. They almost always come in senior to me. Not complaining about it but that is just the way it's been. There is a good chance that MSP will see a 717 base and the 737 category will continue to grow in MSP. My best guess would be the 737 would be a new hires quickest ticket to being MSP based but it wont come quick.
