I would do a lot more research before making that decision, if I were you. As a commuter, I found that Atlanta had many more commutable trips than NYC. Also, look at the options for flights between the city pairs. I found I could get to ATL earlier and finish a trip later in the day and still have an opportunity to commute. What good is 50% seniority in NYC if you can't get commutable trips? You might be more likely to get that as a junior lineholder in ATL.
Congratulations, very nice drop. The beauty of this drop vs. the all NYC drop is it is MUCH easier to AE from ATL to NYC than the other way around, if that is what you want to do.

Well, ok, not exactly "kill", but you get the point....
BTW, any guesses on why 20 of 24 slots were to ATL instead of NYC? That's gotta be extremely rare.

Pure speculation based on nothing but my opinion....
I think today's drop was an anomaly and things will be back to mostly nyc going forward....especially for summer flying.

Just an opinion. But my guess is that Delta might need the pilots in ATL and not in NYC. There are 24 starting next week. Then 60 March 21. I'm sure there will be some variety. Good luck getting your dream base and equipment.
