ATL-IAD isn't easy either. AirTran pulled out, there are only 4 UAX flight/day and one or more usually cxl. Several DAL flights... summer/holidays are very full, the off-season might not be too bad, but there are already a lot of EV pilots commuting and there will be double that after this bid. 80% of pilots in IAD commute so a lot of the senior ones want the late starts, don't count on those. Also hotels in IAD are insanely expensive compared to ATL and DTW. (ATL-DTW commute is MUCH worse, but hotels are cheaper

)
