Would I have any negotiating power as a new hire to get based out of MSP or DTW? For one, I'm a West Coast guy and even though I would move to live in base, I just can't see trying to live in NYC. Cost, chaos, crime, blah blah blah. Not sure what the impact would be re. time to hold a line, upgrades, etc. by choosing DTW or MSP over JFK/LGA though.

I'm hoping to get on with Endeavor in June. Any guess as to when they'll start steering the majority of new hire classes towards NYC? I'm 33 so I probably won't be at the very bottom of class seniority and I'd like to avoid NYC if possible.

It depends on who gets hired when. In some classes, 45 is above the middle point. In one class last year, 53 was right in the middle of a class of 19.
FWIW, I think all airlines base seniority on age for new hires.
