My guess is DTW is going to be taking on more of the NYC flying. “Detroit Michigan is in the Eastern Timezone.” Their crews don’t run into the same duty day issues that MSP crews do when they head east to start a trip. I’ve spoken to some people who know some 4th floor types that say a crew that starts in Eastern time can get 3 legs in on day 1 while MSP crews end up being only good for 2 on average. I also think you’ll see the old 320s and 19s take on some of the 717 flying as that begins to shrink as everyone has forecasted with the AD. Plus. MSP just got the 220. I’m sure there’s going to be a little bit of balancing that occurs. Yes. MSP just lost 3 737 captains with no backfills. But it also just gained 40 more 220 captains… I’m sure the preponderance of vacancies is a way to force new hires into these spots.
