yeah that looks brutal, yet something like 70 reserves and next to no open time on the B side. Hope they get working on fixing the imbalance

717 is probably the only fleet you could hold in ATL right from the start. It's probably a crap shoot between the 320 and 737. 757 is probably going to be harder. There is not a 220 base in ATL.

Caveat, people awarded NYC7ER in newhire classes this summer were able to hold ATL ER on the jumper recent AE. Of course it’s no guarantee for the future, but people are getting into ATL on ER, 320, 73 within a bid roughly. #1 thing is to avoid the 220, then it’s all just waiting for your time to shine.

Would someone who just started class have a decent likelihood of getting out of NYC into a western base within a few bid cycles if they got awarded 73 or 320?

Yes, depending on your timing it could be just a few months, especially on the 73. I'd plan on a year just in case you're unlucky with our unpredictable AE system.

I was awarded a western base before I even started initial a few years back. That was during a time when hiring levels were similar to what they’re projecting now. However, my conversion didn’t take place for 6 months so I still went to NYC for that time. If hiring continues as planned I think you’ll have a solid shot at all 3 western bases on either fleet on the Q4 AE.
