I know I did some pretty stupid things when I was first flying for cash.
Check hauling made me respect airplanes.... enough said. As for ATL---the $160 is what it is (******* Kit Darby). I don't agree with it... but at the same time, I'm sure they're not doing any kind of sim test in ATL (which if you go to our HQ in ATW you are pos. space to MKE, rent a car, drive to ATW, sim prep+hotel... its an expensive trip). The most technical question I got during my interview was "What kind of engine does the C-402 have on it? How much HP?" And I could've said... Its a Toro FX305-16, 300hp/side, and ran on peanut oil and I don't think anyone would've known the difference.
Its more of a get to know you deal. ATL would be sweet cause you can compare AWAC vs. Eagle vs. Skywest etc. I'd be all over it if I was looking just getting into 121.
