Absolutely, and that's why I said I understand. Often, the written word comes across as very harsh/brash, and the writer doesn't contemplate how every reader will take it. Consider that you read it in an EDV thread, and not a XJT thread. I assure you he meant no ill will. None of us do. We only want the best for you guys, same as for ourselves. Sorry if the words stung, the sentiment doesn't, I promise.
No anger here thus no vent. I know it's not the pilots decision where aircraft end up. I've seen lots of aircraft come and go in my 16 years here. However, if the shoe were on the other foot, would you not feel as I do about someone speculating that they "may" receive the last of your fleet?

12 planes, not 20, but the XJT planes are coming one or two per month, so the other 3 bases will have to lose a few in the interim. Overall, the 200 fleet will grow by 12 this year. That's 120 more pilots needed just to support those birds.
I agree, MEM to ATL already has a lot of old NW pilots, so the competition will be... interesting to say the least.

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.

I seriously doubt anyone would hesitate over the money. Ever. QoL will blow the money out of the water, as will one extra turn picked up in OT.

That's probably more than 12 AC and probably closer to 20???

You can debate that with RE and RG. That's what they have said so when that day come when there are no 200s in NY then those not in ATl will be. In MSP and DTW according to them.

For those of us seat locked on the 200, how would the potential removal of 200's from NY affect those of us who want to remain in NY?
Does their removal from NY also remove our seat lock and allow us to bid for 900 Captain positions in order to stay NY based?
