It's a decent pay raise, and they feel like it will give them sufficient seniority; i.e. not give them the uncommuteable and most onerous trips. The hourly rate and college tuition are frequently mentioned in the same sentence.

I have seen some of the guys I fly with go to the 88-- in NYC. That works great if you're local, or commute from the Northeast. From Florida, not so much.

My crazy uncle from Alabama always used to tell me when I was a teenager, "You see a girl with those big hula-hoop earrings...she'll do it!" He never specified what "it" was, but I had a pretty good idea what he meant.

Correct. 365 is the number of days they have to convert all of the awards, displacements, reinstatements, etc. Contractually they are allowed one 365 AE per year. All others must be 210 days.

I think the B717 is a much more friendly airplane to fly then the M88. All glass, much better overhead panel, better systems, etc. Plus ATL overall is an easier commute then NYC. JMO.
