Doesn't that make the Atlanta "vacancy priority" pretty much useless?

I realize that anytime a pilots cheese is moved without his written consent we consider ourselves screwed.

If ATL is manned like MDW or PHX it will have over 800 pilots.
I don't know if that makes it worthless or not. Probably for all the guys who live in ATL it will be great. It will keep senior SWA dudes from poaching their domicile.

Sure, this is a SLI thread, but this is related. When’s LUV going to hire again? It was common knowledge that interviews were going to happen again this fall, and then recently amended to be on hold until SLI. Not that the dust’s settled yet, but when’s the hiring going to begin again?
What equipment are new hires going to go into in the future now? Many of us have the 737 type. I'd be happy to fly the 717 tho.

So, why would anyone apply to SWA when they know that there is zero chance to upgrade prior to 2020? This should end the parade of guys looking for SWA jobs. You would be an idiot to take a job stapled under this steaming pile of ****
