oh......and WBs.
They also have unlimited short call and airport ready reserve. You can't just cherry pick the good while ignoring the absolutely awful. Looking at the overall package, the reserve rules are terrible there. Yes, I want 1 hr SCC above guarantee, but I'm not willing to do airport reserve for it.

Every regional or ULCC I have worked for or known of at least has the decenty of paying for your hotel in training...but not delta
Even if they lose out on that pay initially, they would get it back and more in PS their first year. I would like to see new hires get a hotel, but I don't choose a 25-30+ year, double- digit-millions dollar career based on hotel costs during training.

Nor should you. We've apparently already secured 1 hr SCC above guarantee, per updates from negotiations.

Does it seem like the trend is that guys are willingly picking up the ATL 88’s?

If there's nothing else in ATL and the rest of the drop consists of entirely NYC domiciled planes that's not uncommon.

Ive got a really low last 4 SSN. I don’t want to commute and can drive to NYC. It seems like the AE pretty much opened NYC and I’m guessing most of the constraints on base are now focused more on how the training department can churn out FO’s. How likely is it to get a NYC slot in drop even with a really low last 4 SSN?

As close as you can get to guaranteed as this business allows.

There are a couple things that vastly alter your QoL at any airline: In base vs commute, WB vs NB, and category seniority. NYC offers a significant boost in seniority due to its extremely low desirability and I've never once heard somebody complain about being stuck in SLC (or any other base for that matter) and unable to get to NYC.

Ha! That’s funny. Yeah. I can drive from my house to NYC. That’s my best bet.

Negotiations are not a cut and paste from someone else’s book. If you like a certain point you ask for that. Maybe the company asks for a different point out of another book. Or a new idea completely. It’s not an all or nothing system.

So yeah, you can cherry pick.
