The most junior line holder on the -7/9 ATL, without ANY preassigned activity, is a 02/14 hire date. There are some reserve above them as well, but that's still only a 10/13 hire date where everyone is a line holder to them. Not quite 2 1/2 years.
DTW is worse, only because we're so short on pilots up here. As soon as the new hires come to DTW, that will drop down to about 2 years, maybe under. DTW is understaffed by about 20-30 FO's.
