Kilroy has not lost his job, but he will probably have to start commuting from ATL to a new base. While it is a sad development indeed, it is not an excuse for Kilroy to not conduct his own "due diligence" on the other jobs that may be available.
As Motorclutch said, Kilroy should read the ATI thread (and ABX too) to educate himself on the pro's and con's of the job, instead of just asking uninformed questions.
Read first Kilroy, then ask informed questions... and don't expect to be spoon fed information because supplemental carriers don't operate that way.
Good luck to you Kilroy...
Only a fool thinks we will be around and we are just shrinking. We will probably be gone In the first quarter 2018. Home base is what I like and would work for me. Alpa has worked out a preferential hiring with ATI for us and ends this Friday. Many people are considering this. Our Union is setting up Job fairs to assist people finding work and ATI is the first who came through.
