Hahaha 5 year Captains in MSP? Ya...no...

I think there will be one or two. But then they'll sit there at the bottom as others pile in above for a couple years after that.

3-5 years might be pessimistic but MSP is only getting more senior. That data point you have, the entire category is being shut down in next months bid. The 330 is going to go super senior.

I am also taking the over. There are still plenty of people trying to get back to MSP who were seat locked.

I'll leave this here:

VD = seat lock. MD = no seat lock

Now you can back off and be nice about the question I asked or just continue to be a jackass. I really don't care. Or maybe you will like watching a new hire get a seat you could have had without a seat lock.

Shoot man, I was just giving you a hard time.:..didn’t mean to come across as a jerk.
