That's very noble of you, but a good job is a good job. I've actually counseled a few of my west coast FOs to go there, and they did and are happy. Upgrade is about 1.5 years on the jet (13 mos on the Brasilia, and management treats them fairly well. Most are happy. ATL is also a junior base right now, so you'd prbably get it.

Agreed. I was just mentioning everyone with an ATL base.

Both have or soon will have an ATL base. Pinnacle recently got "awarded" a bunch of CRJ-900s for DAL.

CMEL in progress right now.
I wouldn't put ASA #1 just because you want to be in ATL. There are better choices. But with your time, it may be your only option.
