Default ATL and NYC 200 and 900 lines

Can anyone help with posting what kind of lines one would fly with the 200 and 900 out of NYC and ATL? I will be attending training soon and think this could be useful to try and determine what base and/or aircraft to bid for (do you just bid for aircraft, or base too?).

I talked to someone a few weeks ago who said there is longer duration flights on the 900 out of NYC when compared to ATL but that may not have been based on fact. Is there any info given during indoc that helps with the equipment bidding?

I haven't seen the latest bid awards for October yet to see how the reserve times are trending.

Out of New York on the 900. A lot of up state New York, New England, the Carolinas Ohio, PA and Canada. They do Texas and Florida as well. Atlanta, a lot of Knoxville, Tallahassee, Bahamas, soon key west, some white plains and Canada, some Carolinas some Texas, Some Midwest.

But no matter where you are you’ll see all bases every once and while.

Bid for what you want, not what you think you’ll get. (But you’ll get New York.) but you bid for what aircraft and what city usually on like day one or two of ground school. You’ll find out by Friday what you get. Reserve has been trending upward lately

By the time you hold a line a year down the road, everything will have changed.

Honest advice:
1. Bid the base
2. Bid the fleet

You have a very high probability of getting NYC, on the 200 you have a low chance of getting ATL in a year, on the 900 almost no chance. All other bases (except MSP) both fleets 6-12 months all bases. Bid what you want, not what you think you can hold. This is only good information for today.

You will be going to purgatory (New York) and will sit reserve there for 6-8 months honest answer although I might be a little off on reserve times but they are long and you will get abused.

So when we are at indoc soon, is it just a crap shoot or is any info provided? The 200 is the shorter reserve period now, but supposedly last year it was the other way around so who knows what the hell will be going on within the next few months.

You won't really know anything aside from your base and aircraft assignment.

How do people do that? It's not like a FO can afford a place in NYC.

Why not? 60,000 is certainly enough to live in the NYC area. Even more doable with roommates or a second income from a spouse.
