Correct. Crew numbers for 717 category will equate to ~575 crews. (Crew resources [July '14] letter states approx. 7 crews x 88 a/c.) ATL will see 30-45% of that number, DTW and 'base TBD' to split the remaining crew compliment. ATL's July list already has 220 crews, so I suspect they'll start staffing the DTW717 base soon.
** Data referenced from July '14 Crew Resources letter. None of the above is my opinion, other than speculation of "staffing the DTW717 base soon."
