I live in Atlanta...that’s why I’m asking. I fly heavies in the military and am at 20 years but am holding off on retiring until the airlines pick back up. Working for Frontier in Atlanta and not having to commute is tempting though.

I'd bet that too. In fact, I think TPA will be a relative mix in seniority (senior at the top, but junior at the bottom). The only RUMORED base that I think has a chance at going senior (for Captains at least) is PHX.

PHX is the same thing as far as load factor, but AA will likely be weak for a lot longer than Delta. There will be time later to add PHX, but the window of opportunity for ATL is likely small. 2022 sounds reasonable to me. Right after they announce the BNA base. 🤪
We know that the load factors are there.It's all gonna come down to gate space.

And if Im wrong, ATL isn't going to work for us. Delta won't let us gets gates if we don't already have the deal signed. Delta can't compete with us on ticket prices at all, so they need to keep us from securing gates instead.
