I hope Allegiant backfills. Anyone over the age of 30 that works at SC HQ will most likely not relocate.
Sure they may have their MSP Crew Base, but those with roots in MSP are pretty much hosed.
This industry, Jesus Christ.
Typical way it plays out, after observing many mergers over many years...
Acquired HQ goes away within a couple-three years. A handful of employees will get an offer to transfer to the acquiring HQ city. Sucks for most of the long-time, rooted HQ office people.
Some seniority list pilots in training/management will get a shot at keeping those roles post-merger. Not a good idea to go into Iraq and fire all of the government employees just because they're Sunni.
If there is a lot of fleet-specific support (sims, training, fleet office) in MSP (I assume there must be) that will keep a few more employees for at least a while longer.
Significant crew base remains, but likely smaller. Less significant or overlap bases might close, but that doesn't appear to be the case for MSP. Also depends on what does G4 want to do with this? At a quick glance it looks like the routes and hubs are complimentary.
