NY is much, much more junior than anything else (obviously). DTW and ATL are at comparable seniority. I thought that DTW would be more junior. The 330 compares with the 767-400 in ATL, but the DTW 757 is much more senior than the 7ER in ATL. 320 is more senior than the -88. If DAL-N people want to get senior quick...go to NY! You could easily be 50% on the ER, 50% on the 73, and 25% on the 88.
With the added flying out of LGA and the new terminals in JFK and LGA, NYC is going to move progressively towards being our best all around base. If they make it more friendly to commuters like DTW evidently is, which imo could happen in a key stroke, then it could very well be our best base.
ATL is a mean base. I think the people that are 2-3% in category are able to get commutable trips. And Peachtree city is not a utopia, people die there every day. And there are losts of 2 and 3 day trips, back to back trips too. I'd try NYC first if I was looking for a new base.
