That said, yes, FOs can hold even the senior bases at EDV in less than a year. EDV is bleeding pilots and they aren't even going to Delta. So if you want to be based at ATL, go to EDV and even if you have to make it through one of the other bases for a month or two, it will work out if you plan to live in Atlanta.
