If you're coming here for an upgrade, don't.
FWIW, people are leaving/about to leave for LCCs. That should tell you a lot. I know of a couple that left BEFORE all of this **** hit the fan and even they said it's light years better. Things have gotten exponentially worse since... If you're driving an RJ, hang out, upgrade, become a check airman. Or, go to Spirit/Frontier/Blue/Virgin if you want a type, but don't come here or Atlas.
Yup, I was there when the ************ hit the fan... when Atlas bought S9... I was on the 737... but made a mistake going there... Was hired on the 777 but while in Basic indoc.. was told to go on the 737. I hated and hated that.... but my 2 sim 737 partners quit before their type... I was done with that, and got abused also... did it alone.. was hard... S9 don't care about you... I quit after getting abused.. Left to go back to my Regional that is at my home domicile, live its better, pay its not that great, but I commute to the employee parking lot. the group of pilots there are a great one... to bad it sucks on the management side.
seee yaaaa
