I've said this before but this is one of the most surprising things to me. That they think they are making a good play in this hiring environment while they are trying to grow. I thought our management was good at reading the tea leaves and ginning up business. How they are playing negotiations with the pilot shortage already hitting the regionals and knocking on the ACMI door makes me seriously doubt our future. At this point it would not surprise me to see Atlas pilots furloughed with Southern and/or Florida West hiring.

At least some of us at Atlas are living an industry standard lifestyle.
