I am one of the guys new on property (14 months) who bid 88A ATL and got it. I was prior mil and did a year at a regional. I've flown so old and pilot unfriendly planes in my career that make the 88 look sophisticated. I guess it boils down to perception but I look forward to the challenge and am excited to get a huge pay raise. I was a longtime AF instructor and look forward to being in the left seat again. The learning curve will be exponential but this won't be my first time at that rodeo. Personally, I feel a culture of 88 hate infests DAL and creates a much worse perception. I could be wrong, time will tell, but worst case it's only a few years.
