I have no idea how senior you are, but I am a post-COVID hire based in ATL. When I got hired, I was able to hold a line right off OE (not ATL based at the time) and it was fine, but I quickly figured out that once I could hold weekends off on reserve, my QOL and time at home went way up compared to my junior lineholder peers. I do often drop a day in the middle of a block, but its easy to make that pay up with GS, and hard to beat being at <20 nights in hotels for the year so far. Bidding the latest SC possible (excluding 2359) helps, otherwise it is mostly luck and holding the company to the contract when it comes to how they assign stuff, contactability, rest, etc. I may go back to a line once I can hold Barbados layovers, but that might be quite some time, ha.
