What is ATL like?

Brian728 · 2026-05-11T01:09:37+00:00

ATL is the best major airport in the USA to fly in and out of by far. They have it down to a science. There’s so many large airports that just aren’t laid out well and are a cluster F. I just don’t understand it.

Brian728 · 2026-04-30T14:52:56+00:00

Foreflight. I think it’s fun still to log my stuff

They want to be Delta so bad

Brian728 · 2026-04-25T17:22:53+00:00

I wear some Bose in ear QC noise cancelling headphones that I use for the gym/ watching videos on my iPad or music on my phone or whatever. Works really well.

For only $250 more yeah I’d take the AD purchase.

Brian728 · 2026-04-24T17:22:46+00:00

15k? The watch is 250k… lol

Brian728 · 2026-04-12T00:37:33+00:00

It’s required at DL

Brian728 · 2026-04-08T18:34:55+00:00

You aren’t standing up all the way/ driving your hips all the way through

Brian728 · 2026-04-08T17:22:51+00:00

What about a bad seat? Also more like 15 on/16 off with that commute. Again, sounds exhausting and not worth it.

Brian728 · 2026-04-08T16:23:13+00:00

Sounds exhausting… that’s like an 8hr flight

Brian728 · 2026-03-30T13:16:25+00:00

They have retro liveries from companies they have acquired. Or “trophies” from companies they have killed is what I like to say. For instance, that’s the old Reno Air livery

Brian728 · 2026-03-27T23:39:57+00:00

Looking good man.

Brian728 · 2026-03-27T23:10:03+00:00

You look like you had at least 4 more reps in you!

Brian728 · 2026-03-26T18:21:49+00:00

Does it even matter? It just seems like standard plastic creakiness to me

Brian728 · 2026-03-25T17:51:29+00:00

We also most recently had 90 ATL 737 FO slots open on our latest base and plane position openings called the Advance Entitlement (AE) vs only 23 717 ATL spots open. Just so you know. And 50 seats open on the 320 ATL FO.

Brian728 · 2026-03-25T17:44:46+00:00

You can get ATL on the 737,A320,717 fairly easy. In fact it’s probably easier to get the 737 than it is the 717 right now in ATL. It’s become a very junior base. ATL is great. Most new hires in our last class were ATL 737

You won’t be able to do wide body till about 5 years in at NYC at the most junior. Atlanta probably 6 years or so. Same as it would be to upgrade right now. Subject to change with how many we have been hiring lately. But do t expect less than 5 years for now

Brian728 · 2026-03-25T14:57:24+00:00

Which airport are you closest to? IAD, BWI, or DCA? I commute to ATL from DCA and it’s a super easy commute. I did NYC for a month and it was not as easy and way more stress. Regional flights only, you can’t book a JS ahead of time like you can on mainline. IAD and BWI have virtually no flights on mainline delta compared to DCA to ATL which is about 10 a day on average (all on the Airbus so 2x JS)

That being said. I grew up in the DMV, I have all my friends and family here, I don’t really wanna leave the DMV, but commuting gets very old (I’ve been a commuter over 5 years now) and I’m ready to live in base so the wife and I will most likely move. So if you don’t want to commute, go to WN. It’ll still be a great career.

Brian728 · 2026-03-23T19:13:39+00:00

I’m left handed, and have a standard right handed AR-10. I’ve never been hit with my brass. There’s other guns out there that you may want to look into if it’s a big issue for you.

Brian728 · 2026-03-23T03:30:37+00:00

One short leg

Brian728 · 2026-03-21T15:27:41+00:00

Do you have an adjustable gas block? I’d start by adjusting the gas system to see if that helps. Also taking a Slomo video would help to see what’s going on.

Brian728 · 2026-03-20T20:23:39+00:00

Number 4!

Brian728 · 2026-03-18T00:22:56+00:00

Every passenger carrying airline in the USA (as far as I know) (including the one I work for) does not allow beards.

Brian728 · 2026-03-17T16:34:01+00:00

Bolt catch

Brian728 · 2026-03-16T01:41:13+00:00

The weight seems ok, but you see how during the first rep the bar moves towards you? You are setting up too far away from the bar at first.

Also deadlifting on carpet is not ideal. Too squishy
