It's not...and they're smoking more crack now than they ever have. This place is going to nuts come May and June...

That said, two new hire classes are on deck as well, expect most of those poor lost souls to go to DTW. Not too many folks I know on the -200 in Atlanta are willing to 1) make a commute, to 2) Detroit, just to 3) fly the 700/900 for a small increase in pay. Even with poor pairings in March and April. Summer will be a different solution for Lineholding FOs on the 200 in Atlanta. Further movement can also be expected as the year moves forward (retirements, attrition), so the suck - won't suck - for too long in Atlanta.

However, what NEXT year looks like...who knows...

Many of us just want some movement of some sort, to stay on our aircraft, and to stay in our current domicile. Which I don't think it'll be that hard to achieve considering only 56 crews for now and hiring on the horizon. DTW will no doubt go junior on the FO side.
