Yes. The MSP-based pilots stay based in MSP because they don't want to commute. They're also super senior.
Close MSP, and those pilots will displace everyone in DTW. Those DTW pilots will displace folks in ATL and NYC. Everyone's QOL steps back significantly. The MSP pilots will have to commute, and everyone else will lose relative seniority within their base.
