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.
Not to mention most of the base actually lives in the area vs NYC very few do.

Hope MSP sees some growth soon!

We see this same post constantly. If it were anywhere close to true we would have zero widebody pilots at Delta. This bid for the most part is covering flying from now until the end of summer. Another bid will be posted in a few months. You still have widebody pilots being trained and converted from prior bids. We probably have about 150 widebody Captains retiring between now and the end of Aug. The total count of widebody CA positions is increasing and that increase will really kick into gear with this a subsequent bids. In the last 10 months the company has posted or awarded 380 CA positions on 764-400 or larger equipment.

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.
