MEM: Net premium class seats down (69.8)%, overall seats down (-75.6)%
MSP: Net premium class seats down (-15.5)%, overall seats down (-4.6)%
SLC: Net premium class seats down (-2.5)%, overall seats down (-8.6)%
Total for above cities: Net premium class seats up 3.3%, overall seats down (-0.5)%

For what it's worth, MSP still has the second most premium cabin seats of any hub in Jan2014 (25,431 seats/wk, beating DTW by about 1250/wk).

Of course, a large chunk of this deals with the retirement of the DC-9s (which were making up around 16k premium seats a week, largely centered around MSP/DTW/MEM) - we could/should have a very different story come January 2016, when all the 717s are here, there are more large RJs with F and there are only 125 50 seaters left.
