Unfortunately more bad news. MSP will be closing by December with no plans to open a new crew base. DL wants our flying more concentrated out west, so they say

I thought for sure we would lose Seattle before we lost MSP. There goes the seniority list for a lot of people on all sides pilots and flight attendants. Wow this place is changing so fast!!

They said the base would shrink and there were no plans for it to grow.

MSP base closing with no plans for opening another base ? No Bueno.

Someone told me the other day that with the terminal switch we will get about 6 more gates so things should be less congested and I told them that means we will just do more flying in LAX and it'll be the same. With this news now I don't know if this means we are gonna lose more flying or we are really just shifting the flying.

I believe a lot A lot of employees will move on now. A lot of the MSP Pilots and FAs say the prefer to retire/leave than to commute across the country even if it's to a LCC and few of the older FAs say they'll retire if MSP closes. I believe this will cause attrition to be even higher.

I don't buy the "westward expansion" nonsense. I think it's more likely that we can't afford the rent in Building C anymore.

Joking aside, if the MSP base can't have been considered a given at this place, I no longer know what can. Not a good sign.

Also, this of course means that they will have to replace basically everyone that works in Building C by the end of the year because I certainly hope nobody in headquarters would be stupid enough to move for this company that is only going to continue circling the drain. That means a brand new crop of schedulers and dispatchers, when even the ones that have been around a little while barely know what's going on! There is no silver lining to this.
