Of course the next question to answer will be how senior it will be for both CA and FO....any guesses?

Junior at first, but will most likely go senior eventually. I would imagine this will grab the attention of pilots on the west coast, and will create a flood of new applicants

Both CA and FO will be very junior. We have our share of westerners but I highly doubt enough to fill the vacancies.

So looking in the magic 8-ball, will this base be around for long? Does there appear to be a huge west coast expansion that will be around for a long time?

The only people who can answer that don't work for Compass.

Only Skywest has had a crew base out west for a significant length of time. XJT and ASA had crew bases there for DCI and they were short lived.

I think it will go senior initially. As it grows it will end up as junior as any other base.

I think you are wrong. Look at the seniority list on the Captain side. There are a handful at most that commute from the west. We have a fair amount of people who commute from the west but they are all mid-late range on the overall list. It will be very junior to start and go senior later as those guys upgrade.

FO's side is hard to gauge since there are commuters from everywhere in that seniority area.

Hope the flows start leaving soon to help soften the blow.

Agree it will go Junior, I am about 110 overall and I would be surprised if I don't bid top 5 in LAX. About 85 in MSP and 18-20 in the Dirty D. But I think a couple years from now it will "senior up" like most all west coast bases.

I'm a FO and am speaking about that side. I have no idea how it will end up for captains. As long as senior FOs leave MSP, I'm happy.
