MSP already exists as a base. There are hundreds of Delta pilots already based there. Just because it is a new opportunity for you to choose to bid into at SOC, that doesn't make it new. The key test is whether or not the bid was for company convenience or your convenience. If you bid for MSP 320 B, that is your choice. If you are displaced from your position to MSP 320 B then that is not your choice. That is the difference.

If you want to try it out and file a grievance then have at it. Don't be shocked when you lose that one. The language is pretty clear.
I think you need to reread some of my posts. It is not something that I would grieve at all.
I just see all of those new bases for us as something I had no bidding rights at before. After SOC I will. By simple definition that is new.
