....to me this means that MSP is about to get alot bigger. From what I've seen of MSP over the years, they are way worse at handling traffic as compared to DTW. Can the airport really handle this? Does this mean:
--Less RJ flying out of MSP or
--Shifting some of the 320 flying to MEM and DTW or LGA?
As ACL says: I'm just trying to connect the dots.

I thought it was a one for one swap of -90s to MSP and 320s to SLC. The 9 more confirmed -90s coming by end of 2010 and increased ute rate on the aircraft to drive minimum displacements in both locations as the DC-9s become Grain Belt cans. ?? Guess we'll find out when the MOAB hits. The company would be wise to configure this MFOAB to have as few displacements as possible. Hopefully for those in MSP they'll use the -90 like they did in DFW. Great trips with minimum legs.
