Well, the Atlanta General Office parking lot tells that story. They have 30 days to change their registration. The insurance and taxes are a lot lower down here, so I'd expect the rusty tags will be replaced with bright shiny Georgia Peaches rather quickly.

I can't imagine trying to insure that guy's Porsche up North. In Detroit rates on my cars are a little more than 400% higher than I pay in the suburbs of Atlanta.

DTW and MSP are just flippin expensive places to live.

Probably had the 220 option to go with the M30. Extremely nice car but I'm wanting BOOOST!!!

If Delta rebases the Flight Attendants like they are doing the pilots on this bid I expect Delta's first passage of a representational vote in short order.

Heck, our MEC's Strike Preparedness Committee just got a gift. Their work is 98% finished with this bid. Lets have a Pizza Party and open the balloting.

Here it comes

[quote=iceman49;725148]With the loss of 3000 jobs, mostly in MSP...RA said it added 200mil to the bottom line, so what base took the hits?[/quote]

Exactly

"Figure about $15 million dollars in new jobs just came to town. For Atlanta about $45 million in jobs is leaving town."

I doubt that guys going to F-NWA Bases will all move there, most DTW guys commute as is...so the money isnt going to those states....only the states in which pilots actually live in...IMHO

"Up North" for me ain't that far. It's 2+30 right down 85 from my driveway to Camp Creek Pkwy.

I don't think there would be any 07-08 hires in ATL and maybe some pre 9/11 hires might be gone too. I think that first 07 class has only about 230-240 ATL pilots below them.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are 0 07-08 hires in any widebody category much to the joy of the "that's not fair (to me) you got hired right into that plane" club.

220 is there, but coming from boost to this was enlightning. It is a far better built car. Just not kick in the pants fast.

?, Have u not seen the news about homes going for a couple hundred bucks in DTW...I mean, its not the greatest part of town, but DTW has some cheap real estate. Make a great crashpad for all those ATL commuters. ;)

Unless DTW pulls a NJ and makes commuters have to pay a payroll tax then no they won't be getting any money unless people move there.
