NYC 200 has grown because ATL 200 shrunk. There is less lines in June at all bases specifically due to bid smoothing, NYC is not shrinking. It remains the junior base and the biggest. Yes, routes have shuffled however. Different discussion though.
If you recall, the plan is to have ATL 9Es largest base. That has not happened yet. Stop running around like then sky is falling because your two years in and only halfway up the seniority list.
Lol, until the growth happens it’s just empty promises. Right now I’d wager we grew the other way from last year at this time. Delta had opportunity to deliver airplanes to us. They opted to send them to Skywest. So ya, were over staffed. Been here a while. Ymmv
