There are plenty of guys here that are perfectly happy at their (our) lot in life...I don't make any apologies for flying at Atlas.
As I have said on the other thread, there are certainly better places (like FDX, UPA, and possibly SWA), but there are most definitely worse.
I joined United early 2000 flew the B757/767, been furloughed twice. Got loads of international time. I applied to Atlas at least 12 times. I never heard anything even with recommendations.
Oh I flew 95hrs every month at United and the most I ever made in a year was $74k. So if they start to hire I expect they will have a lot quitting to go to other places just like in 2007. But with 1437 of us out on the streets and no hope of a return date yet, it'll be a while.
