It's stressful but not horrible. Nice thing is that if you get painted into a corner there's plenty of opportunities to two-leg it. Airtran also usually has seats and makes for a good commute to DTW, but not from DTW due to having to change terminals.

Bar, aren't you on the 73N? If you're holding that I seriously doubt you'll have to worry about getting bumped out of ATL. I'm a -N guy, and I think the great migration southward is being somewhat exaggerated (excepting me....)
