Thoughts?

This was a MASSIVE displacement notice which was forecasting a large amount of downgrades, but everyone held onto their seat. Why did they not award secondary displacements? The math doesn't work.

Ah man I gotta work?

Secondaries.

secondaries?

The company I think stated that it wanted to absorb as many secondary displacements as possible (maybe to reduce some cost). I found it shocking that MSP is now the junior FO base!

Praise the Lord! To be fair, that comes at a cost to other guys whose bases are closing :(

Yup, it seems most of the closed bases flocked to DTW for some reason. I am surprised more didn't go to JFK for the better relative seniority.

I really meant to quote the original poster before. I'm very glad to see there weren't a lot of downgrades (or furloughs yet for that matter.) Better than I had imagined. To be sure, I wasn't gloating over the hardships everyone has been through, especially in light of the recent base closures.

Commute from MEM to JFK is horrible. I think there's one non-stop from MEM-JFK now and everything else is on FedEx. There's a few flights into LGA, but last time I checked they were all MD-88s. There's more flights on bigger airplanes to DTW. Problem is either DTW, MSP or JFK, you're gonna get jammed up with all the commuters out of MEM. I'd imagine a lot will give up and move.
