Yet, the Investor Day earlier this month laid out Atlas' planned shift to becoming an 'International Express' carrier. Right into FDX/UPS backyard. I'm trying to stay positive, but I haven't seen anything like this, and this is my 6th airline. To the newbies who just think we are peddling sour grapes, or the dreaded "well it's better than my regional." mantra. Please, I beg you, have a care. Atlas may be a decent place in the future, but weigh the consequences of a failed type ride/121 event on your record. You are putting your entire shot at the majors in jeopardy by coming here. We have had numerous failures/non-recommends in our recent classes. Stay put, even if you are an FO at your regional. Wait. Stay. Upgrade. Even if you do make it through training...look what awaits you. I AM NOT a negative person by nature, I am actually quite sunny in my disposition. Yet, look at me. Glean what you will.
