8-12 months, possibly longer.
MSP is currently staffed to 30 FO's. We will probably end up with 60 total. There are 41 CR9 FO's in DTW currently. It is possible that some of them are bidding MSP when available.
MSP CR9 staffing levels will not change until next fall when the last 3 airframes come here. There has been no movement of 900 FO's between bases. MEM will start getting airplanes in the late spring, so possibly there might be a MSP CR9 FO that wants MEM. If you are on the CR9 and wanting MSP, you probably should plan on waiting until Fall of 2008 before you will see that move.
