I don't think you'll see more than 20 Captains and 20 First Officers that are not already in SLC come into the base. Most of the guys who wanted into the west came with the 90/320 slot and the SEA ER category. You might have a few fDAL guys who have been commuting to ATL or LAX to do ER flying come back (although I don't think they will see much actual international flying) and there are a few fNWA 755/330 guys that live in PC that didn't bid the 320 because they didn't want to go to a narrowbody. It will displace some of the junior guys, but it's anyones guess as to how many.

From my intel gathering most guys that are junior and on the 320 are bidding MSP 320 so you may see a bunch of displacements come into that category from this bid. I don't think many will show up in DTW because it is a bad commute from SLC, so it shouldn't hurt you in that category. Also about the bottom 20 or so 320 guys from the last bid are not starting training until Nov and they are coming from the 88 fleet, so they may just decide to stick with the 88 if they can get re-instated.
