Received an interview with a very similar timeline. No military.

Regional Captain CRJ and now ERJ
2620 TT
510 121 TPIC
1630 121 Turbine

Believe the only reason my app was pulled (not really competitive) was because of the 2200 NHs number floating around

Maybe, maybe not. Do not sell yourself short or believe for a second that you are inadequate. Be prepared to get hired.

Do your best, be yourself. You're coming to ATL for a reason. They got a seat for someone to sit in, why shouldnt it be you?

Go get em.

If you got called, they find your background and resume more than adequate.

Now show them who you are, beyond the resume in a good way.

Thank you all for the pep talk! Part of the doubt is just disbelief that my ticket actually got pulled! Beyond nervous and excited!

I got hired with 2600TT and 200PIC 121. There were two regional FOs in my interview class with about 1000 SIC and no PIC. You're more competitive than you think!

Ok...I need you to switch to decaf and take a few deep breaths....

"Most popular?" ...depends

"More bus?"...yes, largest category

"better seniority" take a look at https://widgetseniority.com

"longer legs and type of trips?"....depends....never pick a plane based on flying or layovers....they change....all...the...time based on networks needs.

"717 fasted upgrade?" https://widgetseniority.com

"tpa to atl commute suck?" yes...commuting in general sucks.....anywhere in FL to ATL sucks....there is a reason so many Floridians commute to NYC

I assume you have CJO and are waiting for Indoc......welcome to Delta!

There is a lot that could be answered here... I don't really think there is a "most popular plane". The big shiny jet (7ER) seems to attract a lot of NHs. The fastest upgrade currently is DTW 717. The 717 is trending more senior on the A side. The 73N seems to be the least favorite amongst most. Commuting from anywhere in FL to ATL is a gamble.

Hello everyone,
Question about DTW. Is it realistic for a new hire to get DTW and how long can one expect to get a line there? Easy to attain commutable 4/5 days? Thanks.
