ATL is the most junior base, followed closely by DTW. If you came when we're short on captain upgrades, you might be able to basically get it right away (like, around Christmas).
Problem with Atlanta is twofold. One, its a smaller base, so even though its junior there are less slots. Two, with how Delta seems to be trying to shift us more west/midwest, I'm not sure what our Atlanta flying will look like in the near future.
As someone else said, nobody on the CRJ sits around. They work ya. I haven't had a reserve day where they don't use me, though I typically know the night before at least.
