It's ok, Bar. It's kind of funny at this point.

DTW gained jobs. I was writing about the economic impact story. But with your temerity, you failed to notice. Glad you have a First Officer to keep out of the weeds. Of course with your pleasant demeanor you should expect to hear only the checklists and only then as a response. Besides, you'll be able to bid those 777 positions sooner than you think.
Thik I'll take a break and go push dumbells around literally rather than figuratively.

It might go a whole lot more junior than you think though.

New York gained jobs, too. So, did every other base except, as mentioned above, DTW and SEA.
If you think the:
- 139 765 positions and extra domestic flying don't make up for the 81 777 spots lost in NYC, or
- the higher paying 320 in SLC, or
-the increased LAX and CVG flying with no reductions
...is not a positive economic impact for those former DAL bases then have at it. Write whatever you want.
But, when you say, "the other angle to this is f-DAL bases are taking a big pay cut....," you are factually incorrect. Unless, you consider Atlanta to be two cities or two DAL bases.
So, I'm sorry, maybe you have double vision.
If you think my FO is keeping me out of the weeds, then when you see me working your commuter flight to DTW, make sure you take the next one.

Net Gain 19 Capt's and 19 FO.
This was done by comparing the current category list to the 22 D.3 projected staffing report.
