I will throw this out there to be considered. Every time I go to a base meeting in Seattle with Flight Ops management and above, the question always comes up: Will the company be opening a narrowbody base in Seattle? The answer has always been yes but the follow on question of when this might happen has always been "some time in the next couple of years" or something like that.

If it does happen, I think it will either be a 737 or A320. My money would be on the 737.

Unless you start in the ER it won't happen due to your freeze. With the amount of movement we are having, it could conceivably happen shortly thereafter, however. Hope to see you here soon!

We already have a 737 crew base in SEA. It's called:

Thanks all for the info. Altus is great and all, but the West Coast is calling. Hopefully Delta is too...

Yep that's what they said 6 years ago too! Just sayin!
Reality has not been fun and I am in year eight and still waiting on the conversion to SEA. Hope it is finally happening for those that want SEA as well!

MSP widebody has been in a downward spiral for several years. Rumors have been floated around that it may see a 777 base, I wouldn't bet on it. Most live locally and yes it was HDQ for NWA so it has it's fair share of DAL North guys, it has become a relatively senior. Not sure what the future holds for MSP. The only sure bet bases IMO are ATL and NYC, the rest are just along for the ride. I don't think DTW or MSP will go away anytime soon, but you never know. It appears SEA will grow and will most likely be the new gateway to Asia.
If you can handle NYC it will give you the best equipment and rapid movement for years to come. The downside, you have to cover three airports.
Hope that helps!
:cool:

NYC is great, IF you like expensive housing, sky-high taxes, politics only a Russian could understand, a climate that is the envy of Southeast Alaska and traffic jams measured in miles. Other than that, it's perfect. Oh, forgot to mention brainless, stuck-up people who lack the common sense God gave a horse and then there's the three airports.

Oh, the airports, all winners in "worst airport contest"! LaGarbage, Newark, NJ hard by the chemical plant and JFK, where immigrants see their new country in all its glory.

Gf,
Do not apply to Nyc chamber of commerce. It would be futile.

Seriously tell us how you really feel.

Why so politically correct?

full of luv,

Actually, I was trying to hide my dislike for the NYC, you should hear my real feelings. NYC is a great place, if you get paid like Mayor Bloomburg. For us, peons the entire Northeast is an expensive rathole with an annual raping called taxes.

Don't sugar coat it or anything.
