I agree 100%! I'd rather SEE new questions, or at least the same questions with "any NEW developments?" added to it. It's just a bit dramatic to tell someone who asks ONE question to read 5.400+ posts before they are allowed to ask another. I've been applying to Atlas for over three years, I've worked ACMI, and understand the lifestyle, yet when I asked a question several months ago I was told to do what?.... Read 500 pages as if I new nothing. A typical assumption made by people here.

It is helpful if you are applying and getting called right now... is it worth 50 pages of reading sifting for one other answer though?

We're really not d-bags. We just like to steer guys in the right direction and part of that is reading our previous work so we can avoid the redundancy that you pointed out.
No, you are not all d-bags. Some just occasionally act that way. As I said before, LOTS of great info, and I appreciate those to took their own time to answer.

Thank you. I'd love the opportunity, but if I do, I probably won't post "I got the call!"
And by then this thread will include this whole page about the thread, and likely stand about 700 pages
