Yep, 18 lines in September for the LGA CRJ total, 4 of them are day trip lines. The other 16 lines all have at least 1 ATL overnight per sequence. You shouldnt have any problems getting an ATL overnight if you want one.

Im showing 9 guys on reserve. I think some of them are TDY from ORD/DFW. There are lots of LGA CRJ FOs in the training pipeline due to come online in the next month or two, but they are still way understaffed.

ATR is an awesome airplane..and the island flying is second to none.
The problems with Eagle's island flying is the 9 hour over nights..pretty much everywhere you go.it's only 9 hours. Not so much fun
But the views..oh my!

It is sooo hard to predict future upgrade times if you were hired today. Right now, the CAs upgrading on the jet have been here 9+yrs and the ATR CA slots are at about 7yrs. I would be prepared to be in the right seat for 8yrs+ before upgrading if you got hired today.
We are getting some new CRJs, but we are shrinking in other areas. We also have contract negotiations coming up at the end of 2012, that can be a tough time for any growth or movement. APA is currently in negotiations for their contract, and that specifically stipulates what/how/where we can fly. So keep an eye on what happens from that. Who knows what the economy and business travel trends will do, but that generally correlates to how the airline industry as a whole performs.
