if you have MiCrew take a look at March rotations and compare. Cross off any augmented trips as those will be gone before the even 10,000# seniorities. ATL ER has a ton of short leg lengths and therefore a lot of 3 leg days (even up to 4) but what’s a real kick vs 737/320 3 leg days is the multiple 3 leg days followed by 11-13 hour layovers CONSECUTIVELY.
DO NOT be fooled to fly a 757/767 and be based in ATL. It’s among some of the worst flying in the airline and if you want to fly on the fleet and actually enjoy good trips you would need to look at LAX/NYC. Which do have a handful of bad rotations. But wanna know why? It’s either a sports charter or…it’s a trip going through ATL. The key to good ER flying is avoiding ATL.
so if I was a new hire I would not pick ER if my plan was to be in ATL.
