At this point, you would need about 10 years worth of seniority to hold ATL as the FO plug. It is a smaller base with lots of pilots still trying to get in. If ATL is a must have for you, Delta may be a better career goal. Best of luck!

ATL is going to start going a lot more junior. It is growing at a snails pace, true, but they have been slowly growing the base and the flying out of ATL.
Last bid saw six digit former AirTran folks getting into ATL. They represent the bottom of the AirTran seniority list. Many trannies have moved to another base or accepted upgrade as a commuter. There will be a little filling in with guys wanting lines, etc, but there will also be guys upgrading.
I would not be surprised in the least if I was able to hold ATL in the next year and I have only been here 3 years. It is going to be relatively senior for a while, but like MCO and PHX, it will eventually be a senior base with junior guys holding it.
Just my prediction.

Thanks to everyone for the info. I'd rather two leg commute to work for SW then drive to work in ATL for Delta.

Let me put it this way. Here's a pic of the last guy to hold ATL first officer.

Because he can hold Captain in the other bases. [emoji6]

Ouch!

Of course even if you lived in Atlanta and commuted to another base for a few years you could still pick up open time there at home.

Any new base rumors?

Was told during my interview FLL and STL are strong possibilities!
