As of the last bid, every NB category at the company, and every 757/767 category except SEA had unbid positions. Based on that I would say 73N/320 for either and 220 for SLC

If I want to get to widebody ASAP, is there any particular initial drop I should prioritize to help facilitate that? I was thinking 320 since it would make for an easy transition to 330. Does the 2 year seat lock mean I couldn’t bid widebody until after 2 years?

if you think it will be more than 2 years (this is likely) I would say either the 320 or 7ER depending on whether you wanted to go 330 or 767-400 when you changed to WB.
This is free advise and you get what you pay for so keep that in mind

That honestly depends. The 7ER went junior than both the 73N and 320 last couple bids. There’s going to be no 220 in ATL for a long time. And eventually it’ll only be 717 in ATL as DTW 717 goes away as the 717 goes away.

Logic differs with each person. Some want to go straight to International so they bid ER. Some want seniority quicker they take the 717 or 220.
Others will take any plane offered that allows them to drive to work and not commute.
I wouldn’t spend too many brain bytes trying to figure it out...you'd be chasing a ghost.
You can't control what the people senior to you are going to choose. Figure out which planes/bases work best for YOU, and rank order them...that's all you can do.
Welcome to Delta!

Thanks. Excited for whatever comes my way, save maybe the DC-9

Yup....hold over from when we had the 737-200 (737 or 73S if part of Delta Express), 737-300G (73G) and the 737-800 (73N) all flying at the same time. The -800 was Next Generation so it got the N code. And then there is the 765 which is really a 767-400. At one point, ATL had a domestic category (764) and an international category (765). Guess they decided to keep the "5" instead of the "4" to keep it confusing. 😁
