Bait and switch, coercion, deception, call it what you want but Atlas are vindictive and if you decline the offer you may not get the Atlas offer......lucky you! Do yourself a favor and wait untill the curtain drops on this $hit show, one way or another.
This just makes you look like an angry poster. I have no experience whatsoever with anyone who has personally felt that they were deceived or coerced, or given the bait and switch. Nor have I heard of anybody being given an Atlas interview and then been told to go to the triple. I'm not saying is isn't happening but for as many people as I fly with and as many people as I talk to (and I personally know people in the training center as I am sure you will say you do as well), but this kind of report just hasn't made it's way to me via other channels except the rumor mill. Are you getting this all from the ATAM because it sure sounds like it? (you know that the ATAM is just for "entertainment" purposes right?).
I fly just like you and talk to umpteen people as well so unless you have details to substantiate your claims, your post will fall on to deaf ears as a previous poster also suggested thereby rendering your message useless.
So, unless you are a SOUTHERN pilot, how would you know?.....oh, wait, because it happened to a buddy, right? If you are a Southern pilot, you took the job so it can't be that bad. And if it is that bad, I am sure you are trying to leave. Have I covered all the bases?
You could have easily sent the same message minus the rhetoric and probably been more effective. just sayin.
