Hey Nu,

Makes you wonder where all that flying went ! SCOPE is sooo important.

Figure that we lost 130 DC9's worth of flying (gulp).......that's a lot of mainline.

First glance the MSP DC9 flying scares me a little bit, especially with the 5 day trip pairing that begins 7am on day A and ends at 2200 on day E, something that the south side never has. And I believe the M88 has more trip variety than the DC9 as well. (countless GRB,CMH layo in the DC9 bid pack)

What is the general consensus for MSP? It seems like it's the northern version of ATL, where the trips generally aren't created for commuters, and the mentality of "commute is a choice" is running wild. I'm just trying to see if it's better commute to the west coast from MSP, or should I keep looking east bound.

Check, I wish I had the patch in your av when I was in the AF. I was definitely the poop magnet. That's why I retired a Major. :-)
