remember; this is a acquisition, not a merger.
Do the SA guys have guaranteed interviews ??, priority on hiring ??
I have already been interviewed at Atlas, just waiting for the call.
Happy Holidays
While I understand your curiosity, let me paraphrase Jim Lovell:
"All right, there's a thousand things that have to happen in order. You are at number eight. You're talking about number six hundred and ninety-two."
Atlas and Southern will be merged (and it is always an acquisition from a legal standpoint, so don't sweat the semantics). Whatever happens, outsiders looking at it will think that it was semi-reasonable. No one will be sodomized, nevertheless everyone involved will think that they were.
And there is nothing you [or me] can do about how it pans out. It will be what it will be. The only person with a real decision is the quy with class dates at both, and even then both class dates need to be the same day for it to be a really hard decision.
In 2 years we will be one big family, except for that half a dozen guys who will still be wearing their old airline lanyards.
And here is what you really need to know once you are on line. Atlas Captains like the trash bag in the center. Polar Captains like on the Captain's arm rest. My understanding is that the Southern method is to put it on the FO's arm rest. Do not put it in the wrong place.
