With the latest vacancy that came out, MSP is staying the same size (growing by 2 captains). Junior MSP FO is a mid December 2014 hire.

I keep hearing that MSP is shrinking, has that stopped now with the current bid that just came out or is that continuing to be the trend? I'm originally from Minnesota and would like to get back there.

Again thanks for taking the time.

I say go for it. Even if you have 500 121 time. You could bypass more senior FO's at somepoint once you have the 1000, and upgrade. Likely LAX capt. though

edit: my understanding of MSP is that there are no plans to reduce size anymore. it did shrink a little, but that has since stopped. Vast majority if not all the Flow's are coming out of MSP. Everyone in interviews is being told that there are no plans for any changes to MSP anytime soon.

My bet, early summer guys will be holding LAX CA while still in training.

Lots of people are saying that. The numbers support it too.
Damn I wish I went 121 sooner than I did. Id be sitting pretty right now.

With shuttle route LAX/SFO going to Delta, how much SFO lay over are you guys seeing? Or expect to see?

Thanks

The guys that have been here are mostly refugees...that being said, most of them are leaving, but the senior captains here are awesome and not bitter.

With previous 121 time - you're ahead of the game. Everyone talks about the flows, but the guys that don't have the flow - have their apps in everywhere - so attrition will be positive movement as well.

They are slowly picking this route up, so we still have a bit of overnights. That being said - I had 4-8 SFO overnights per month this year, but in April I only have 1...but that's just me.
