To be fair MSP is attainable, your just not going to see a CA line for 15 years. FO side is not as bad.

Almost 2 years and I would be on the edge of reserve in MSP. I’d hold a line though because there are always senior people bidding reserve. Most of that base consists of lifer FOs and junior MSP locals who came here for the base and inevitably bid to DTW or NYC when they can hold a decent schedule there.

Unless you end up a new hire on the 200. Then you’re locked into nyc, dtw or atl for 18 months from doh. If you were on the 900 you could at least drop nyc reserve days and pick up Msp trips.

This is true, I think the first few classes will be 200 heavy. There is a lot of 200 FOs about be released from seatlock.

How many of them will actually be able to bid over to the 900? I would guess not that many based on 18-03.

Allegations are that recruiting will pick up again in a couple months, this should be around the time that 19-04 hits. Aside from the ex-EVs who want ATL at all costs, there will be allot of these FOs jumping to the 900 when they can.
