How is that?

The only similarity I see is the "type of trips" component, i.e. more legs per day than other fleets.

That's no more of an easy transition for them than any other NB fleet we have. Is there some fundamental systems philosophy between the MD-95 and the CRJ that makes them uniquely closely related?

I suppose a little.

But what regional doesn't also go to most of the same "mainline" destinations as well?

Not to mention there's still a lot of 737/320 and even 757 flying to smaller markets.

Not that any of it is rocket surgery, but obviously the ER entails learning international ops as well, even if as a junior pilot you may not see much of it. 73, and I'd assume the 320, does some WATRS stuff to the Caribbean/Central America. Again, not earth shattering, but still something most regional guys haven't been exposed to. From a route perspective 717 flying is about as bland as it gets. AVL to my knowledge is the only airport we go to that is remotely mountainous, and it's a far cry from other destinations on other fleets. The biggest issue people seem to have with it is the high number of days with 3 or 4 legs, which is true. That can make for a crap sandwich when you're doing GNV-ATL-CHA-ATL-CAE when storms are blowing up the southeast in the summer. On fair weather days it's easy-peasy.

“well staffed”. It’s not just limited to ATL. It’s every base.

What management thinks: leave CA where it is and lower FO pay…

I'd like to change the term "under staffed" to "over scheduled". We have the staffing just not for the amount of flying they want us to do.
