Look at the parings that do a significant flying out of ATL. Many of then have DH's in the paring. Point is that if they can relocate a category and save on those DH's it is a savings of not just money but pilot positions.
As for the size of these rumored categories, who knows. The 320 does a ton of NYC flying too, but there is not talk of a base up there. It all comes down to the most efficient place for a crew to start and end a trip.
Actually, many of the pairing that have flying in and out of ATL do not have DH's in them (at least on the MSP 320). In the first half of your comment you say that because there is a lot of flying in and out of ATL, there will be a base there which will save DAL money yet at the end you say just because the 320 does a lot of flying in NYC, there isn't any talk of a base there because it is not efficient. This appears to be some very good double talk. Are you working on your campaign for a position in congress or DALPA?
