Any Intel on the selection order for the drop list?
Also what would get you to the ATL the fastest with the best QOL? I'll have a 2 leg commute to NYC through ATL so I'd like to minimize that as much as possible.

Very undermanned in the 717, more so on the B side, and even more so in NYC. I just looked at NYC daily trip coverage for December and saw GS#8 and GS#9 assigned (as well as a few GSWC). Most new hire NYC FOs don't live in base which means the lion's share of premium trips are gobbled up by a few well positioned pilots (or end up out of base). I was told by a reliable source that the FO on GS#9 was paid 190 hours in December (and he is not senior enough to LCA buddy-bid). In ATL there were a lot more GS but since there are about double the number of pilots; many of whom live in base, the highest I saw was 4 GS in December. Obviously DEC is an oddball month due to both xmas and NYE, and there was a huge line of T-storms on xmas eve that generated a lot of premium time, but overall I still believe there's nowhere else a new hire can make as much money.
The bottom line is if you want to earn as a junior FO, you need to be willing to do what others are not. I'll let you figure out what that is
