Just a heads up, ATL will add crew bases for the A320 & A330 effective Sept 1, 2011.

It's about time. They've been bridging crews for the 319s/320s and 330s through ATL from the other hubs for too long. The costs savings in hotels alone will be large.

They are adding pilot domiciles in ATL for the 319/320 and 332/333. As of right now, all of the flying through Atlanta on those a/c are funded by pilots from MSP, MEM, and DTW. A330 flying comes from MSP and DTW (deadhead crew in and out and live flights through JFK and AMS. Just a side note but ATL has more DC9 trips than all the other hubs combined but they never opened a DC9 base in Atlanta. With the -50s being retired next year, I don't see one opening either. As of now, most DC9 pilots doing the Atlanta flights are Mempis based.
