Now here's my next question to you, I'll be commuting to MEM from 1hr away. Do you think a high speed line would be a more advisable in this case for someone who commutes?

Thanx for the help!

ATL is starting to go senior now... In AUG I think there is a fair amount of FO from DTW moving to ATL. The new pay rates is an 10 an hour raise for 2nd year FO's to go down there. So just an FYI dont bank on coming to pinnacle and getting ATL right away. Just food for thought.

not sure which vacancy you are looking at. a new hire at pinnacle can almost bet on getting atl right out of training. this is the initial award for vacancy 08-06

ATL FO
(15) Increased by (8)
1 610

2 769

3 907

4 1031

5 1058

6 1082

7 1166

8 1203

9 1222

10 1295

11 1296

12 1302

13 1309

14 1320

15 1321


except for the top 2 or 3 the rest of these guys are at the bottom of the seniority list. VERY JUNIOR

the reason there isn't a mass exodus to atl for that pay raise is that no one wants a 2 year seat lock while they sit around waiting on having the time to upgrade.

and i expect us to be getting a lot more flying for atl and dal very soon. the last vacancies towards the end of the year have had a lot of openings. the award i just posted was the initial, i am sure the final will include more than that.

Just to be clear.. many people fear the "seat lock". The company is pretty clear that this is not a seat lock, rather it is an "equipment lock". And you can upgrade to captain whenever your number comes up and you meet the requirements. I know of a guy who did just that: new hire training, 900 training, worked for a month as an FO here in ATL, and is now in upgrade. He came to 9E with a couple thousand hours...

this is correct. when i say seat lock i mean once you go there as an fo you cant leave as an fo for 2 years. you can upgrade at anytime to any base that you want, but once you are there as an fo there is no getting out. and its 1 year for a capt.
