I forgot we had a 330 base in MSP. They could share the pain with SEA if a ATL base is opened. Its never fun when they pull time out of your base to fund another base. I was in SLC when we had 120 crews on the 767. They yanked 60 crews out to open up the LAX category. Huge impact on the SLC base at the time.
....and that was the last time sailingfun ever smiled.

Looks like you're right with 1 exception. PWA 11.J covers this situation. KC10's "friend" could withdraw from ER training if the initial training is conducted at the MSP training facility provided he is a fdal pilot. In that instance he could return to his former -88 position while incurring a 2 year freeze

Comments???? 330's to LAX?? LOL. Bye bye 320 MSP...Hello ATL from what I heard in MSP last week.
I had check airmen on JS the otherday, said ATL 320 flying would come from MEM/MSP/DTW and not SLC, but he clarified that the information was 2 months old. I'm sure things are changing fast.
You think MSP 320 will close all together?

MSP 320 was drawn down considerably when the MD90 moved there from SLC. Any further draw down of the MSP320 is probably to zero.

My vote would be for a "trim".

There are still 300 pilots in each seat in MSP 320, that's a pretty decent size hole to fill.
Just have to wait and see I guess.

I sure seem to enjoy my job and time off more then 98 percent of the frequent posters on here. You would think they are working in pure hell while being cheated out of everything in value in their lives from reading their posts. I have a non airline friend and I sent him here to research something that interested him. He read some of the threads and told me he had no idea things were so incredibly bad at Delta. I told him they are not, its the internet and you know how accurate that always is!

They actually increased staffing in MSP when they opened up SLC. The SLC 320 flying was entirely increased utilization. Everyone thought they were going to draw it down, but they had vacancies in MSP the same bid they opened SLC. Haven't watched what it has done since then, but I'm fairly certain it is about the same size it was before SLC saw the 320.
I see the 88 fleet migrating to MSP and NYC. From MSP they can cover the entire US, Canada, and Mexico with the 88. They can use the 320 in ATL to cover the entire US, Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean. They can't do that with the 88 down there. Same reason they moved the 320 to SLC because they couldn't hit the east coast with the 90's.
