I am sorry, but I think you are out of touch with the rest of the industry if you think a regional FO is better off passing on Atlas - regardless of the current woes - to continue flying an RJ for $45,000 a year in the hopes that he might someday get a better shot somewhere else.
Thanks for the advice but I'll take the job, and consider my future from there.
That being said, you can fully expect me to stand with the pilot group. I always have.
