Yup. This summer, coming from JAN, my wheels up time was longer than my scheduled flight time. It was a beautiful, weekday morning with no wx in the entire U.S., even dispatch was dumbfounded. Then, even though we were way late for our scheduled 55 min turn, we still had to do the C to D shuffle, even after asking to keep it. I just do my best to avoid ATL.

As far as reroutes, I don't get them often anymore, but that's because I mostly do turns. However, nearly evey reroute I received last year was doing flying that touched ATL. May just be my bad luck.
