You don't learn much in class about it anymore, so they'll have the same info that their "classmates" do.
This was the rumored drop for the class:
MSP DC9 2
MEM DC9 3
DTW DC9 3
NYC M88 11
MSP M88 18
ATL M88 2
MSP 320 8
DTW 320 1
My understanding is that the flow guys went ahead and put in a preference for what the wanted, despite the fact that they won't be on property for a few months.
O really thought if there would be openings post SOC it'd been in DTW more than MSP. DTW must really be a commuter friendly base. I mean its got the best terminal in the system and all, and good trips. You know, if I was a 2007 or earlier hire at Delta, I'd bid DTW right away.
