small point, but there are only about 530 slots to be filled on this bid. The 75 or so ER FO slots in NYC and ATL are duplicates. Its not 150 total, its 75 total. If all 75 are filled in NYC....none will be filled in ATL. If 30 are filled in NYC, then 45 will be filled in ATL. This is their solution to the staffin problem in NYC. If they can't get people to bid NYC, they will add the slots in ATL and deadhead you up to JFK to start your trips.

There is a memo about this posted outside the CPO in ATL for any Delta pilot who wants to read it. Also says next bid in Nov.
