Some of you guys try so hard to be negative it’s kind of sad

Right now it’s about 3 years to hold that base, and it isn’t trending more junior either with the new TA pay banding.

DO NOT be fooled to fly a 757/767 and be based in ATL. It’s among some of the worst flying in the airline and if you want to fly on the fleet and actually enjoy good trips you would need to look at LAX/NYC. Which do have a handful of bad rotations. But wanna know why? It’s either a sports charter or…it’s a trip going through ATL. The key to good ER flying is avoiding ATL.
so if I was a new hire I would not pick ER if my plan was to be in ATL.

I think the 320 ATL has some pretty good variety as far as domestic flying goes. Obviously lots of east coast NY/DC/ATL, but a good mix of west coast, mountain west (even Roanoke, VA in the east), Midwest, southwest, Canada, and some Caribbean and Mexico.
