RE Seniority on ATL 717 A
How much do you think the schedules will play into people bidding the 717? If you look at our DC9 schedules they are not good. Lots of 5 legs days short overnights and your variety is weak.
Will that affect some people and their desire to move up?
Also on a related note has it been addressed if the 717 will have 5 day trips? The DC9 has a few but does that mean the 717 will too?

Would greatly appreciate it if someone could PM me about how to find a charter on DeltaNet or iCrew.

We prefer the term "fund" vs staff. Our aircraft are "funded" not staffed. The difference is with staffed aircraft you hire pilots to fly them whereas with funded aircraft you displace Pilots into category.
If there is one thing our management is good at (OK they are good at some other things too) its euphemisms.FWIW I think it will be around 7, but I would be surprised if someone does not post a number with at least 4 decimal places within an hour.
