Edit, Forgot we had a 330 base in MSP. Time could come form MSP or SEA. Here is a statement from the company.
We expect this bid to put us in a solid position to support the scheduled 2011 summer flying. We plan to publish our next bid in the second quarter of 2011 to support the proposed fall 2011 flying. It will most likely be a 365 day bid and will include some changes to the A330 and A319/320 basing. We will let you know more as we get closer to that bid.
Could be... I have heard on more than one occasion that "the ERs will be moving west.. and the 330s will be moving east" Not much of a stretch really to see that since the ERs are compatible with the 757s in theater.
Now if they can just figure out what to do with the 764... BUt I thought in your original post you were talking about the entire SEA base. I agree with your assessment.
