It seems like it from looking at this. I'd probably put atl320 first, atl7er second, and atl717 third to try and avoid commuting. Also if I understand from reading this thread they assign aircraft based off of people's preferences and then if that does not work then allocate based off of who has the lowest last four of their SSN.
The other thing to consider is quality of life. In your example, you seem to be picking based upon number of slots available. The 717 for example is typically more junior than the other fleets in your bid. If you want weekends and holidays off over aircraft type flown you may want to bid that first. Just something to think about. Obviously if you live in ATL, bid all those ATL slots first. But don’t necessarily bid based on spots available. I promise your overall seniority on the ER will be worse than the 717.
