It's been awhile but I will give my impressions of the 88 in ATL and NYC.

I commuted to NYC for a year in a half most of that time I was reserve. Had to cover all three bases was terrible. Most of the trips were not commutable, but they were good once you were on them. Usually one or two legs and lots of TPA, FLL and MCO. The Captains were really good guys and made it a point to buy dinner and beer.

Finally I got 88s in ATL I was so happy I could drive to work. I hated it! The trips were usually at least three legs. I did a lot of five legs. Learned to love Flint MI. But It was the Captains who made it miserable. I would say at least 15-25% of them were people I wouldn't want my worst enemy to have to work with. I finally had enough and bailed to the ER and its so much better.
