That has nothing to do with ATL and everything to do with being super junior for a long time in a hard working plane where every AE bidders will pile on top of you and you'll spend years getting min days off and no green slips. Force multiply that by our generous 117 copy/paste work rules and "optimizers" that will shred your QOL to make a tenth of a penny in theory and that's why the bottom rung goes that junior.

But MSP 88A isn't that junior, right? Still not a fair comparison because of base size. If MSP and ATL were reversed in size, you'd see the exact same thing going on with MSP 88A going to first year pilots.

Lol...of course MSP is a much smaller category than that found in the "Holy Grail" of domiciles. Make MSP M88 a 650 Captain sized category (rather than its current sized 175 Captain category) and me thinks you will run out of willing belly buttons a bit quicker than the Ayy-Tee-Ell.

I think that's exactly the point. More 88 positions in MSP would help reduce relatively new hires from being awarded A positions in ATL.

Maybe time to start applying some logic and common sense. Rather than simply counting beans.

The 88 is on its way out the door. If it was staying around, more MSP slots would be a solution as suggested but...............since it is going out the door, it will eventually be pared down to one base (ATL) and eliminated. Hence the category getting all the love from the MD'd categories. As to keeping the 90's, they will probably be the MSP 88 category's savior for a while......

Not so sure that MSP will close as a MD90 base. Even when it's down to just the 65 MD90s, that is still plenty of aircraft to support 2 bases (the 717 with similar numbers supports 3 bases) and with MSP having a lot of MD90 departures due to it's ideal location (the MD90 can make it to both coasts), I suspect it will stay as a base albeit probably smaller than it's current size.

Slight correction to your post; there are 91 717s and four bases.
