I think junior award on the ATL73NA will be in the 10000 range. 2010 or 2014 hire. I think ATL717A drops to 2015 hire.

ALPA did drop a nice glimpse of the future growth of ATL 717 flying in an email this morning:

"The Company expects the 717 to begin a consolidation to ATL over the next few years, which is why most of the positions on this AE will be allocated to ATL. It is anticipated that 575 captain and 570 first officer positions will be needed to operate the 717 fleet for the summer of 2020."
