If you don’t like Texas layovers you’re gonna have a hard time. If you’re a Texas commuter it will be the closest you’ll get to living in base at Delta. There are a handful of trips that start/end in AUS/DFW/IAH if you’re senior enough to hold them. This does of course vary with network requirements.
There’s lots of opportunities in BOS as well although our overnights are generally short there.
Overall it has the best commutability in the narrowbody fleet. Anybody who says it’s like the 717 is probably junior to you.

I remember the 220 crews telling me how the 220 was going to be texas heavy. Most layovers on the 220 are in IAH, DFW, SAT and AUS.

If you are in the west coast bases you'll get a lot of LA area, and bay area layovers too. Salt Lake has some Montana stuff, but has a mix of TX, CA, and NE layovers. Seattle has red eyes daily from Fairbanks and to IAD. Seen some to BOS and JFK in the last few months, too. 4-5 day trips can see you essentially NE based running TX or ORD turns from BOS and LGA. May only be 2 legs but AUS-BOS turns are lengthy. Stays clear of ATL (for now) is the biggest bonus.

i only got to fly it a few months. Bit repetitive but super easy schedules compared to stuff 717/320/73N/even domestic 7ER go through. Mostly 1 or 2 day legs. Long skinny routes. Big cities, easy work, nice plane.
I think west coast now though has more shorter leg lengths and therefore can get some 3 or 4 leg days.

Best part of the 220 is the fact it doesn’t touch Atlanta. You’ll learn why later on.

1 and 2 day trips seem to go senior and locals. Reserve sees mostly 3-5 day rotations. 2-3 legs a day. If you get worked hard on the first day or so the last is typically a single shot. I wrote some other stuff a post or two above. If you anyone reading this is senior to me it is repetitive, lots of BOS/LGA/JFK turns and a small jet. Fairbanks in winter. Stay away!
