If you are a captain in Detroit, please bid for it. If you are an FO, stay.

I foresee us growing DTW and MSP back up a little when NYC closes. We have roughly 500 200 pilots right now and that (my pure speculation) will be around 600 by that time, meaning theoretically once NYC closes there will be 400 200 pilots spread between DTW and MSP.

We lose MSP and DTW to SkyWest

But for real, this makes my Florida commute so much better with one 1-hour leg, potentially on company metal.

"An exciting opportunity to showcase our services"..... by all the declined SSP candidates for years to come. 🙄

What makes you think that NYC is closing? Is that something that is in the works?

200s in NY was never the plan, so it's inevitable.

NYC 200 is closing. Company has stated several times Delta wants dual-class birds in the NYC market = not the 200.

XJT is opening a LGA base. There's the two class aircraft NYC needed right there. Fine by me, let someone else take New York.

Copy. I thought he meant both the 200 and 900. Makes sense.

I'm a new hire with a 3 April class start. Do you guys think that this announcement means that most 200 new hires will go to ATL and most, if not all 900 new hires will go to NYC? Just curious how this announcement will affect new hire flow in the near future as I'm hoping for DTW.

Most likely that's what will happen. With new bases opening up everything moves VERY quickly so if you don't get your first choice, it won't be long until you can move to where you want to.
