[QUOTE=capncrunch;1377370]You can blame management for that. They seem to think almost every aircraft needs a base in ATL.
They seems to think EVERYTHING should be in Atlanta. How much more can they try to stuff in that overstuffed place. Atlantacentric myopathy. |

Also, they keep shrinking MSP. Who knew that 5 years seniority would not be enough to hold it?!? That place was a fortress hub and they are ****ing it away like they did Western. |

Are they shrinking the pilot base in MSP or the departures from MSP. The two don't always go hand and hand. Last two times I was in MSP it looked like every single gate was in use.

(I heard you can make it in your garage, all you need is a plastic jet and some batteries, then you sniff the fumes) I was gonna pay the pilots back, but then I got high (on Jet Crack!) I was gonna buy widebody jets, but then I got high, I don't need to hire pilots and I know why. Why Man? Because I got high(er ALV's) because I got high(er reserve utilization), because I got high(er stock price, which is how I get paid!). Afroman - Because i got high (Lyrics) - YouTube 1) Were did RA's Southern Accent go? 2) DAL is trying to morph into an investment grade stock. 3) We aren't buying anything (any time soon). Our order books are full- with 737-900s and Bombardier jets :( TEN |

If we ever hire again, especially sustainable 40-50+/month hiring, MSP (if kept the same size) will likely be available to junior pilots again, maybe even out of new hire training like it was the last time we hired. |

Unless you're in the back rows between the engines with no windows, the 88 is a nice ride from a pax standpoint. APU management in the summer time notwithstanding of course. :cool: |

I do not see MSP becoming a MEM or CVG to much business traffic. It has as many Fortune 500 companies as ATL and profitability is good for the hub. However everything is not roses in snow town. My guess is that in the end MSP will be a 7er, almost all domestic flying, M88, and 717 base. No more wide bodies and no more Airbuses. |
