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.
True - but another thing to consider is growth. For example, the 320 fleet has some serious growth coming, while the 717 doesn't have any new deliveries. The 737 has some, but not until next year. [The Lion Air planes expecting to be in service starting Sumer 2023 I think].
So while they may initially be more junior on the 320, lots of upgrades and movement will move them up quickly I expect. 220 would be the same, but less bases to choose from.
