But you can actually bid to other planes after two year initial seat lock (after one year in special situations) and you can always break seat lock if awarded initial Capt seat.
Lastly, Summer of 2017 hires would be 98-99% in the left seat of both 320 and 737 in ATL, so 5 year point.

These 2017 hires that got ATL 737/320 left seat are at 98-99% in the category….whether they get awarded a REG line or have to sit RES depends on how much flying get assigned to their base and what the senior guys bid.
There have been certain bases/plane combos where the senior guys bid RES and the plug of the category gets a REG line.

If you live in base, reserve is fine. You can't start before 10am-12pm on Day one and in most cases the trips you'll be awarded are going to be better than being forced into a junior line where you WILL get hot garbage for the whole month.
