I'm not sure how senior ORD and DEN are these days for UA, but MSP is very senior at DL and getting worse. You will almost certainly not get it as a new hire and even when you do, your movement will be a lot slower than other bases. It's always better to drive to work, but in the case of MSP as a DL pilot it might not be much better.

Probably going to get laughed at but I currently live in Minneapolis and it says I’d flow around January-March 2024. I have a class at United December 6th. With the goal of wanting to stay in Minneapolis would it still be good to go to United and just commute or wait it out. I know it is a personal choice just looking for some wisdom and perspective.

Go to United. Our Flow calculator is inaccurate. One minute it shows pilots flowing in a few months, next minute it shows them flowing in a year. Nobody can make an informed career decision with such garbage-like software.

It's hard to believe it was accidental the company forgot to account for all those that accepted flow.

This is actually a really good point. If you want Delta because of MSP you're going to be disappointed. It's super senior with no noticeable growth and it seems (maybe unfairly) that everyone there is really salty. They certainly have a reputation I hear about every time I pass through there.
