Have you ever complained about your airline? How would you feel if the same question were asked of you?

Of course Atlas pilots are leaving. Had you done any research at all, you would know that we are leaving in record numbers. 34 last month alone including 5 & 6 year wide body captains.

Furthermore, if you want help getting hired at Atlas, it would be better to avoid insulting the pilots here with antagonistic questions like that.

It wasn't always this way. We used to be pretty enthusiastic about Atlas until management; 1. Abruptly ceased contract negotiations with the union, 2. Began an attempt to force an "amalgamated" contract on the pilot group, and 3. Sued the pilots at Atlas.

There is so much more that you could find out about the reasons to avoid Atlas if you wanted. The information is all here on APC threads.

So, please don't take the easy way out and make flippant comments about our fight. We are simply trying to keep applicants from making a big career mistake.
