You mean like the L-XJT mechanics that watched MX bases close? Or the L-XJT SOCC people that were forced to uproot to a soon to be HQ location with NO FLYING?
I feel for them, been through a furlough/Ch11/shutdown and multiple base closures. But the poop train and the "merged" XJT has been sucking for A LOT OF people, for a LONG TIME.

You can pretty much eliminate the Delta DFW-ATL flights as those jumpseats are always taken by mainline pilots. As for the other airlines, you're competing with highly seasoned commuters so be prepared to be waiting at the gate at the earliest possible time to jumpseats first. There's a reason stories are told about commuters on this route buying tickets to/from work.

According to management not for at least a year and even after that they think they will stay in ATL, just maybe not in the same buildings. Supposedly Delta already has to of the bays in the hangar. I think they will end up using the hangar and we will be in the office space for right now.

It'll be interesting to see Endeavor hire 40/ month and probably another 20/ month due to attrition to staff these airplanes. Are you guys already short staffed too? Surely, Delta will just park 50 seaters when they cant handle all of the flying. United must be so pleased to have swiped all of these experienced pilots away from Delta and it sounds like 126 is just the floor for ERJs with another 60 possible since CommutAir and the others that 145s slated for them are having a hard time staffing.
