Very true...and there are people on that fo list for whom this is the first job after high school. I know them.
The fact is, I know tons of FOs who rationalize a move to ATL for reasons such as commuting, pay, blah blah blah, when in fact they've just got SJS "cool, a bigger jet that's more shiny than the 200!!!"
The poster with the charter experience will be the exception, not the rule on the FO list.
And all these people keep trying to justify how it's easier to commute and more pay, but they will be on airport reserve foreer in ATL, and the pay difference is a wash when you consider one can fly 90ish in MEM and DTW, but you will never break guarantee in ATL. And you can get hispeeds in MEM and DTW very junior, but you won't in ATL. So there is no way at this point in time to justify that it's more commutable (or for the forseeable future, since all the new vacancies are going senior)
