Atlas Air sucks but you regret leaving back in 2003? Worst job you ever had? I do want to trust you, but...
You live and learn, you live and learn
I regret it becuase I could have built the flight time needed to not eat **** at a Regional. Other than that its terrible. The long flights (and I mean LONG FLIGHTS), the not being able to maintain landing currency, the lack of manipulating the controls, the flying into crazy ass countries and flying in complete danger zones for which you are not compenstated for (at least not while I was there). The management not giving three ****s for the pilot group or any group for that matter. But by far its the being away for so long. When you are gone you are gone man......They will keep you out forever!!! Your wife and children WILL forget who you are!!! Its a laundry list man. I only regret it because I didnt get the experience required for me to get something better than what Im faced with now.... ;( If you like all of the crap I listed above than I'm sure you guys can enjoy it there.
