Dudes took the 88 1 and 2. That can't be right.

If and when I get hired, if I'm #1 I'll be 88atl without a doubt. It's a lifelong dream for me

My advice is pick your plane on what domicile you want to go to or get to. Then worry about the airframe. When picking the jet realize that seniority growth can be a major factor in getting to the base you want.

Currently the 717 is stable and while a nice jet you won't see the seniority progression that you might see on the 88 or 320 because of the aversion/growth respectively.

The worst part of the 88 is the bid packages lately. YMMV

Not to sound like regional puke but if you guys get more than 11-13 days off for limeholders and less than 5 legs a day, it's a huge step up. The md88 is definitely a dream. After the seat lock I can go fly something else no problem

So it should meet your improvement threshold. The jet is quirky and handles like a dump truck but I enjoy flying it.

Those two pilots finished the day with instant relative seniority. They will move up faster than in any other category based on current vacancies. The SLC 7ER and SEA 7ER are at the bottom of the category, whey they will stay for a while. I suspect the ATL M88 pilots prioritized seniority within the ATL domicile. SLC and SEA chose for domicile.
