MSP is a great place to live. Snowy winters but find an activity like fat tire biking or XC skiing and all of a sudden the 20 degree days are paradise. All parts of the cities have pluses and minuses. Both downtowns offer outstanding restaurants, culture, and night life. The inner ring suburbs like Edina and Golden Valley are quiet and high end. Looking for more space? Even 20 minutes from the airport in most directions will afford you a standard suburban home for a good value.

The cons? The 320 flying isn’t sexy. With the exception of the top few FOs, everyone is flying the same trips. You don’t get to 50% and suddenly hold Caribbean or Alaska. The mountain flying pre-COVID is still there, but the 30 hours in MSO aren’t as prevalent. If you just want to earn a paycheck and go home, it’s fine. If you want a little more of a thrill, there are better bases and seats.

It’s a great city and nice people. Depends what you’re looking to get out of it flying wise. Pack a jacket for the winter, buy a paddle board for the summer and it’s good living
