Does anyone foresee ATL flying getting better in the next couple of months? Or is the 4-5 legs a pretty common thing for the foreseeable future?

I'm pretty sure that what you see in ATL is what you're gonna get.

ATL flying will stay about that same probably. Lots of short hops out of ATL that the 900 serves so lots of 4 and 5 leg days. GPT, THA, AGS, CHA, TYS, EWN, BHM, SHV, BTR, AVL, TRI, GSO just off the top of my head that have regular 900 service that are short/ish hops.

And on the 200 in ATL, less than 5-10 hours block each month on reserve (this month and last, at least).

God that’s painful sorry to hear that. Hopefully while the flying is minimal at least the reserve time is coming down.

Also 8-10 ready reserve shifts each month. In the past 6 months, the lower half of the reserve list in ATL has consistently seen ready reserve assignments near the contractual max. Living the dream...!

On a more serious note, reserve times for ATL 200 will most likely NOT drop anytime soon. The shifting of ~5 aircraft lines and no subsequent displacement for ATL 200 will increase reserve times drastically, as those junior line holders will be shifted to reserve with the decrease in flying.

The only likely way ATL 200 reserve times decrease is bringing the flying back down from NYC, or taking on more aircraft in NYC (7/9s) and allowing the 200s to shift out of that market.
