Long time reader but felt compelled to finally join to thank 8 for that post.

I'm an Atlas Captain and I have never seen morale tank at any airline like it has just done here at Atlas. Management think that because you have a pilot certificate you are qualified to move heavy metal to anywhere on the planet straight out of the box and deserve nothing but contempt. They have no concept of what it actually takes to do this safely. Many of our experienced and qualified pilots, me included are running for the exit now and we had no intentions of doing so a few short weeks ago. The turnover and experience gap Atlas will face combined with the incredibly low morale amongst the crewmembers has me very concerned that there will be a smoking hole somewhere on this planet with an Atlas tail sticking out of it sometime in the not too distant future. I sincerely hope that I am wrong.
