The million dollar question is if DTW/MSP guys bid down to ATL, will the company backfill those Captain slots. My bet is no. If NYC200 guys bid down to ATL I suspect those slots will be backfilled.

Why wouldn't the company backfill some of the DTW, or MSP captain slots? Say all 40 ATL captain slots go to current captains..wouldn't there still be a need for 40 new captains? Attrition+14 airplanes. Sure DTW and MSP aren't growing, but the overall fleet is.

I have no crystal ball but there are reasons they wouldn't. Yes they would be short CA's but could immediately issue another vacancy with additional positions elsewhere. Again, I dont know that they are going to do this but it's a scenario that supports not backfilling.

We're not losing airframes. DTW and MSP will get more 200s when they leave NY. Most of ATL is from XJT and from what Gumm said it's about 20 200s. If you figure 5 crews per airplane and 200 crews. So the shuffle begins. If DTW and MSP lose flying it is only temporary until the 200s from NY are available. Also Memphis to Atlanta is not very commutable unless you like driving.
