Thanks
Some newhires were sent to MSP in the most recent hiring wave. It really depends on your position within your newhire class as to where you end up.
As for the size of the MSP base, there are currently 1651 pilots spread among the 5 fleets based in MSP. That includes the A330, 7ER, A320, MD88/90 and the DC-9. The largest fleet is currently the A320 with 616 total pilots. The smallest is the A330 with 111 pilots.
Even if you don't get MSP initially, you would likely be able to bid into MSP within 6 months to a year if things remain as they currently stand. Hope that helps.
