I'm sorry that you've received what you perceive to be bad news. As many people have been saying on this thread, this may be a blessing in disguise. There are a lot of great places to be in aviation right now. Atlas may or may not turn out to be one of them.

If you do believe that this is where you want to be, however, keep on trying. I applied for over 2.5 years before I got the "good news".
