OTS hire at a legacy or LCC such as WN or F9 would be even better.

You will likely get there faster by being hired at another regional then, if needed, an LCC or mainline airline than waiting for a captain seat here in those bases.

The argument about DTW and MSP stagnation is moot as there really isn't an alternative right now. Skywest at DTW being the exception - for now.
MSP flying has shrunk from mainline through all the regionals. Fact of life.
Makes the argument of living in base vs. commuter less than clear cut. At least commuting gives you some flexibility in these situations.
...or people move to the base with movement. Like what happens at any other job...

As far as the salary vs rate argument goes, consider this. Turning the bonus into a "salary" is a much larger concession for a much larger portion of our pilot group than the resulting pay cut for a much smaller portion of our pilot group at the 83 hour conversion. This of course doesn't include improvements in sick and vacation accrual, increases in 401K and per diem, as well as QOL improvements like long call reserve that are on the table.
