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.

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.

Olympia, Issaquah all seem good. Everything downtown and northeast of town seemed crowded and expensive. Tacoma has some cool areas.

I'm guessing ATL, but am looking for input.
