It seems like none of the regionals have new hires coming to MSP anymore. Skywest is focusing on DTW and ORD, Compass is LAX once they restart their new hire classes, and we are NYC focused. It's a shame to see with how big of an airport MSP is. Hopefully new growth, or more legacy hiring, will come in 2017.

The kicker for us is this announcement from skywest about a heavy reduction in 200's...not only expressjet 200s...but possibly their own on the skywest side might also be going away or reduced. That will be our saving grace if we take back some of that flying in DTW and/or MSP. Is there hope? yes.... is it happening now...nope. Time will tell.

I think *if* the southern base comes true, that will be a big mover of people in MSP and DTW.
PS. People of all seniority levels are moving onward (other jobs) and upward (upgrades). So there will be movement in 2017.

You can thank BLOW JETS for our reductions on the 900 in DTW as they got kicked out of NYC because they couldn't handle it...oddly enough they can't handle DTW either...those idiots caused two go arounds the other night because they couldn't follow simple headings and airspeeds from approach control. Not to mention every time I walk by one of their gates in DTW it is delayed.

XJT is losing 49 200s, but SKW as a whole is turning in something like 76 total IIRC.
Had a GoJet bird in front of us last month in DTW, going to 21R for departure. After messing up 3 different taxi instructions, ground parked them on 9L and let about 3 or 4 birds pass them on the way to 21R. Heard ground call them as I was switching to tower, said if they could comply with instructions, they could proceed once again. Ouch!
