No, it’s just that for whatever reason, that fleet has ended up significantly over-staffed, especially when compared to the 737 and 320 categories (the 717 falls in the middle). How long that will last is anyones guess. This last class drop didn’t even include any 220 positions. One factor for the slowing of movement is that many of the pilots on the fleet are still stuck under their new hire seat lock and unable to change planes to “more desirable” bases (ATL, DTW, MSP, LAX) until after 1 year. Whereas a 737 or 320 pilot can bail to any base of their choosing on the first AE after indoc.

We can agree the ER can be sort of a grey area. Now, the type of flying it does varies wildly between bases as I am told. I hear ER in NYC is the best with plenty of intl flying. That being said, I've heard the ER in ATL being called the heavy RJ because all you do is 4 leg days to FL and back.

What’s their seniority? And how far into the packet did you go? ATL7ERB is the largest category at Delta…around 550 Bs. That’s a lot of trips to skim.
There’s a good mix of transcons, Europe, SA, Caribbean/Central America, Hawaii, and yes, FL shuttles.
Those 4 legs days to FL go very junior.
Yes, it does more FL turns than it used to. But so are all the other new hire aircraft out of ATL.
Actually…in the off chance you’re senior to me…it sucks and you should avoid it like the plague. If you’re junior, the ER is a great category and don’t let people who’ve never been on the category scare you off.

I received the electronic CJO to e-sign the day after the the interview and then approx. 2 weeks after the interview, I received the email stating 'PARB Approval - Congratulations' and it had a few documents attached to it, and the following day I began receiving all of the Cisive background/PRIA stuff.
