There's no way a new hire will be stuck for long, and if you're wanting to move to a Delta domicile you could bid ATL 88 and use the company paid move to your new domicile when displaced.
That's probably the best play based on the timing of the 88 going away. Unless they change their mind again and keep it around longer, it'd be a good way to either get to ATL immediately knowing you'll have the displacement coming up. And getting the company paid move would be a nice perk...
