I have never been more than 7 in line in ATL. And while the 900 obviously climbs better than the 200, I haven’t seen one yet that can top those 50-55K summer thunderstorms. The only time all summer I ever got diverted from ATL was when they shut the airport down due to wind shear. Once.
I’ll take ATL flying over NY flying any day. Never in ATL have I taxied for 1-2 hours. The worst part about ATL is the ramp vehicles that seem determined to hit us. But I have been jacked up several times when there has been a NY IROP (weekly, it seems at times), and much worse than any flying I have done out of ATL.
How are you this clueless?
Productivity begets time off. The bid packet gives you all the raw data and the union has explained multiple times why the 900 gets more days off (and often more credit). Our union, that runs pbs.
If you're very senior in a base, any base, your qol is high but that's nothing to do with fleet type. The majority of pilots will and have done better on the 900, because the majority of pilots at this company are not now, nor will they ever be senior. those are the facts, and they are not in dispute.
Read a union communication every once in a while. Besides that, a mass exodus is happening on the 200 for pilots junior to you, you think that's vanity, or perhaps are you thinking back to how remarkably detached you are and realizing "you know someone explained this to me once and i was waiting for my turn to say 'well ive got 17 off' instead of listening to facts being relayed and now I'm realizing I should listen instead of assuming i already know everything.
