200 CAs for May in DTW. (Your numbers were a bit different from mine here as well. Didn't take the time to go thru the other domiciles. Obviously, the upper RSV folks are there by choice.).
I looked at the 17-02 award for the most Jr. Captains. They have been awarded. I'll look again in honest thought the number was 22.

Fair enough; I was in a hurry and I didn't look at the awards for the count, I simply used the May PBS awards. So we are going to be off a few counts at the bottom. No biggie.

The 22 vs. 122 is a little bigger. I looked at the date range you mentioned on the 17-02 ISL, and counted the 122. They are not all in order, you have to go up a little bit to get 2-3 additional folks for some reason.

By this do mean most folks commute to work *on their duty day*? How long before such commute is possible for new hires?

1st question is Yes.

2nd question can't be answered by us.

Depends on where you're commuting from and how many flights you have as options.

For any airline commute to work, you should plan on 2 flights that can get to your sign in at or before your show time. This also depends on the policy in place at your airline. How you do it is up to you. You can commute in the day of your trip or if you have an early show, it would require you to come in the night prior.

Most people who commute prefer a later show, so that can come in on the same day. At the end of the trip, they prefer an earlier end time, so that can commute home.

It's best not to commute, but if you have to do it the best ones are the 1 leg, 1hour ones on your own metal or parent company.

Coming out of ATL, do you think there will be any endeavor ATL to JFK/LGA? I heard commuting out of ATL is a nightmare so hoping to get on "own metal" out of ATL to NY (if thats where I will be to start).

They were coming from GoJet until Republic filed bankruptcy and messed up Delta's plans.

No, there won't be. You might be able to 2 leg it ATL-xxx-LGA via a company plane, but rarely is hub to hub flying done with an RJ.

I think there are 20 flights or more a day from ATL to LGA whereas there are only 6 flights a day from ATL to JFK.

I think most of the DAL flights are mainline. Not sure what flight numbers are 9E. With ATL opening up as a base I suspect they may have some CRJ flights to NY as well.

The one thing you have to be prepared for is DELAYS. You may land there 30 minutes early and get to the gate LATE.

Hope this helps ...
True, but if you are hoping for an early release to make a commute home even after the last flight has left your base for the day, if there are still flights at the other base they won't let you go because they "might still have a flight to cover". As a reserve you report to a specific base but you cover the entire system.
