I'm qualified on that aircraft, thus my peaked interest in Atlas.

I'm five airlines into this game and have been both FO and captain many times. To assume you figured enough out from four or five lines of a person's first post to justify a response like that was indeed condescending. Meanwhile, I'm slowly chewing through the thread trying to learn about yet another company.

I've been beat around and furloughed and flown with enough self-righteous first officers and captains to be a bit numb to most things, but really? Mine was an innocent question, for which my common sense and motivation was insulted with a rant better suited to a high school career day. I've heard the we hire captains speech many times before. If the call comes hopefully I'll be ready the same way I have been for other carriers I worked at; until then - it's just another day listening to people thump their chests.
