If you want to go to the majors, then stay where you are, but don't use Atlas as a stepping stone. I'd love to haul freight around the world for 21 days at a time, I am aware that they also fly charters

Well, the rest of us only do it 17 days at a time, but whatever floats your boat.
The rest of your post is spot-on, though. I'd much rather sit next to a guy who wants to be here (and help make it better) than one who's going to sit there and whine the whole time about why he's not at Delta yet.

Damn shame that there are people like that out there. Because they are likely the same ones who will have an excuse when a picket line goes up...

I have searched with no luck...is there a common denominator amongst the 2014 hires? ie previous acmi heavy international time vs straight 121 vs mil heavy time?
If anyone has a breakdown of experience from the most recent class I would be interested to see it.
