I'm one of those 550 in the SE. I could drive to Atlanta if I had to (about 5 hours), but if I ended up based in Atlanta I would normally fly to get there. With that being the case I'm pretty sure I'll stay with my job in DTW, because I think my seniority (whatever it ends up being) will mean more there. If you have to get on a flight to get to your base, you might as well go where your seniority gets you the best bidding power.

Oh, I like it. How sweet it will be for me to be a SEA based 777 Captain.

here's an idea. It's not mine, I heard it a few years back.
Line up all the pilots at a starting line. Put several aircraft of each type several hundred yards away in decending size order: 747, 777, 330 etc. On the word "Go," start running. Everyone who makes it to a seat on the left side of a plane is a captain, you get a seat on the right, FO. Anyone running for a building will be shot by snipers because they'll be considered managment wannabes.

I think you'll be the big beneficiary of this whole thing. MSP, while a nice town, is not most people's cup of tea. It'll most likely go very junior as the commuters find places closer to home.
