You'd have a better chance of playing pick-up stix with your buttcheeks than your chances of getting an ATL M88 as a new hire.....😁
Just kidding, just kidding....in the words of the Magic 8 Ball, "Outlook good." There were 340 unfilled ATL M88 vacancies after the big bid last month so it would seem that a good portion of the drop for each upcoming new hire class will be ATL M88s for a while. You might want to look at the DAL Class Drops thread under "Delta" on this forum to get a better idea of how many and how junior they go each class.

Been on the 75/76 since new hire (just over 2 years ago). Most of my rotations have been int'l with a smidge on the 75 when I've been on reserve for domestic and a bit of int'l with it. All depends on the base you're at. Started in NYC...hardly any reserve time and managed to fly about a 80/20 int'l/domestic schedule out there. Now in SEA and almost all 76 int'l flying, even with 1/4 of my time out here being on reserve. Other ER bases can vary widely on the types of flying they're doing. If you're going to indoc, choose if you want an aircraft or a base. Things are moving so quickly right now that you have a good chance of getting one or the other quickly. Just make sure a new hire seat lock doesn't prevent you from getting one or the other in the short term. Have fun! It's really good times right now. Hope that helps.

Your chances of getting ATLM88 are very high now that they are closing CVG and NYC M88 bases.
Plenty of vacant slots for that seat.

The 717 along with the 320, 737, 7er, and 330 are currently domiciled out of NYC which covers EWR, LGA, and JFK.

I am looking for aircraft that have flights that start and stop at EWR only. Am wondering what aircraft I could select to ensure I fly out of EWR due to its proximity to my house. Thx.

The mix of aircraft flying a market or city pair changes constantly based on time of year and marketing whims. Having said that the 717 is probably your best bet.

Isn't there an airline based out of Chicago that has a small EWR operation in Terminals A and C that tends to go junior? Perhaps that is a better option? 😁
