In places like LAX where NW had no base the existing DAL captains have seen their relative seniority fall as senior NW pilots down bid or sideways bid to get closer to home and not commute whereas DTW and MSP have become incredibly junior and available to anyone willing to commute. I imagine much the same will happen at the new United once equipment begins to be moved from one domicile to another. No matter how the SLI gets set, shifts in domiciles will outweigh all other considerations by far. I for one am a NYer commuting to IAD and can't wait for a chance to return to the NY area even if it means switching from Int'l flying on the 76 to domestic 75 flying. The opportunities presented for all will so far outweigh any temporary pain, I honestly do not understand all the hand wringing going on now.
