If however I were SEA based I would be very worried.
If there is a shift in 330 flying to ATL, I've always thought most of the flying for the new category would come out of MSP and/or SEA with MSP being first on the chopping block. There is nothing earth shattering in this bid or showing what the company is thinking. I wouldn't put it beyond the companys thinking to then move time out of DTW too.
Heck, maybe they've decided not to move any 330 time on the next bid and are just covering additional flying!!!!
