It depends on the base. Very underwhelming in MSP.

330 Nothing
7ER Shrinkage
73N Shrinkage
320 Nothing
717 Few tokens to offset the shrinkage

Pretty frustrating considering it's one of the most appealing bases. But yet they just continue to grow NYC.

Appealing? That's just your opinion man!!

The results of this bid will be pretty interesting. Especially with such a large amount of Widebody Capt positions. I see significant movement and some shockingly junior domestic Captain and Widebody FO positions.

Could NYC7ERA hit 2014 hires? Will the iron wall of seniority on the 73 and 320 in ATL finally fall? Will systemwide junior Captain fall below 2 years again? Interesting times. More plot twists in store for the rest of the year with BOS320, NYC777(or more ATL777), SLC330 and LAX350 all on the table.

I bet there’s gonna be 2 pages of bypasses alone.

Agreed, it will be interesting to watch. Btw, were you the commentator for Rocky and Bullwinkle? :D

What’s the over-under on number of M88 A backfills? I’m thinking 50.

Has anybody noticed how bypasses are treated for right to left seat moves on the same A/C? Wondering if a guy with 2-3 years to go can expect an involuntary bypass, or any bypass for that matter. I’m not there, but as a current A to B, it might be a factor down the road a few years.

I just wish they'd pick and stay with the correct nomenclature. Is it 764 or 765? Is it 73N or 737-800? You find all 4 in bid packages. Now get off my lawn!

Come on. We ALWAYS put the cart before the horse here. And yes these are PROJECTIONS for new bases on the Jun AE. TBD on the reality.

I like 911’s so my cart is always before my horse.

There's a reason it's the most senior base at DL. I don't just mean appealing to live there (because it sounds like cold isn't your thing) but it's a great commuter base because its centrally located, has reasonable hotel prices, and doesn't go into a ground stop every other day.
