I got bumped off it and 2011 and still can't hold it. Probably 40 to 50 guys on the list currently looking to get into MSP and can't. I'd say more like 2 or even 3 years

For someone looking to be DTW based, what aircraft would give the best quality of life over the next few years, and would not be something likely to be displaced out of DTW? Thanks in advance.

I'd think 717, M88/90, A320 would all work for not being displaced. QOL can be subjective, so no idea on that.

Mad dog isn't in DTW, unless I missed something.

Well then I guess I better make sure; what aircraft are available for a DTW base?

Probably not. I just asked 3 guys in the crewroom here in JFK and no one knew, so I took a guess. 717 would work better than 777 or 747 for a NH though!

I can't see how many have it as there number one choice between 9500 and 11593 but I would imagine it is at least that many more. So with that said there will have to be a fair amount of movement or growth just to let the 30-40 in that already are on property.

People's preference places are giving a small part of the whole picture. Many people (along with myself) use % qualifiers, which is not shown.

I'd be willing to bet that people are able to get into MSP and such sooner rather than later. Heck, before the displacements from the ER, SEA ER went wayyyyy junior.

Thanks! That much I figured

I just want to make sure that if DTW isn't offered when my time comes, that I bid something that will get me there ASAP.
