320 B - DTW(7), NYC(8) and SLC(5)
M88 B - ATL(18), CVG(1), MSP(9) and NYC(2)
717 B - ATL(39) and DTW(37)
I would anticipate all newhires to go to the 717 or the MD88.
Do you think ATL will remain an option for new hires in the early part of next year? What would be better, the 71 or the 88? I see the 88 pays a little more (after year 1) and, I imagine, the 71 is a little nicer/more enjoyable to sit in. How might the trips compare? Thanks!
