Little known fact. There's a nonstop ATL-RST flight if you get into a pinch.

I've looked at the number of flights and open seats on Delta website and passrider for other flights but I can't see standbys and I don't know how Compass falls in the pecking order for Delta seats.
Been out of the 121 game for 2 years but looks like a perfect time to get back in and stay.
They won't get you a ticket? Might be worth it to buy one.

It's a nightmare. Sure you'll see 20-30 open seats the night before but come day of, it's down anywhere from 15 all the way to -5. Oh and there are 30 nonrevs on the list and you are number 31. Jumpseats of course are already taken. Off season it's not too bad but in general I avoid it like the plague. I am from ATL. Delta base to Delta base is always tough. My recommendation is you do a two legger. ATL-SDF/OMA/OKC-MSP are pretty good. You can also fly Compass metal on the MSP legs. Southwest is also a nice little secret. They have two seats up front and not too many commuters as MSP isn't a base for them. Oh and if you get there early enough, the guy in the black double-breasted jacket can't boot you out either which is nice.

Interviews should have a ticket in the back though. I sure did.

The interview will be positive space of course, it's the future commute I am trying to nail down.
Looks like staying in ATL and going to Compass may not be smart.
I didn't mean to hijack the thread, thanks all for the info, I'd really like to fly at Compass but only if commutable.
I could transcon commute to LAX and only lose 2.5 hours going west but returning east after a trip whew, I'd lose a whole day!
Thanks again everyone. Please PM me with any other feedback as to not hijack this thread any further.

I know someone that does LAX/ATL and they say it's easy.

Yeah, the commute coming east sucks! I live in the central time zone and it makes getting to work pretty easy...only a subjective hour and 15 minutes. Going home it's a subjective 5 hour flight. First flight leaves at noon, and I don't get to the house until dinner time.

Apparently Skywest got a "memo" that they will be taking all our Delta 175 flying out of SEA and LAX 😂.
Koolaid is strong this time of year.

The Kool Aid is always strong over there. Their plan to take all regional flying everywhere is always ongoing. It's comical really. Our own Flight Ops team has very recently smashed that rumor in a recent memo/email so don't listen to anything some dumb SKW recruiter says.
