Saw,

That is good to hear. I am in fact training on the 73 right now, but don't think I'll be able to make up my mind that soon. Good to know that it is growing though. I have to get the Mrs out to Seattle and wow her with all of the coffee, mountains, farm-to-market food and hippies. Well, maybe less focus on the hippies.

Can anyone throw in there 2 cents about what MSP looks like for growth in the next year. Also as someone who lives in MSP what new hire base ( DTW, NYC, ATL would be the best for commuting). Assuming a 88 or ER and a long shot 320

Anybody moved there recently? Any thoughts to share? Also, why is it that Delta can't define Seattle as an actual base when all of the other domiciles are? Does Seattle have room to grow as a base?

I'm just in training and know that I won't be able to hold it for a while, but any info would be most helpful.
And don't forget, WA has no state income tax:D

I moved here this year, tons of great places to live within 2 hours of SEATAC, some sticker shock on the houses. Concur on the decision to not commute, you gotta have a big reason to put yourself thru that.

What would be some places you would recommend living for a young family? Poolie also and not wanting to commute forever. SEA is our number 1 choice.

I'm pretty sure that WA laws also permit you to use your contractual sick leave to care for sick family. Another very nice perk. (I think LAX and MSP pilots get this as well)

We ended up in Gig Harbor, aka base housing. Wide range of houses, 45 min (no traffic) to employee lot. Some live very close, as in West Seattle. Everybody seems to like where they are. Olympia, Issaquah all seem good. Everything downtown and northeast of town seemed crowded and expensive. Tacoma has some cool areas.

DTW would be the best for commuting to MSP, did it off and on for 15+ years.

That's where we are pretty set on (Gig) if we pull the trigger. Need to get to class 1st and see what I get assigned. Thanks.

What's the best place to be based if you're commuting from DFW?
I'm guessing ATL, but am looking for input.

DFW is a tough commute because it used to be a large pilot and flight attendant base. Some have found both DTW and NYC easier then ATL. Competition DFW to ATL for seats is intense.
