A point on the recent agreement with Southern and Atlas Management.... Be careful on taking a job at Atlas. If you are stuck on the 737 at Southern because you took a job at "Atlas" please know that the rates are based on the percentage of weight of the 747. The 737 is so light that you'll be getting new hire rates until 3 years after starting at Atlas PLUS your award and completion of training in a larger aircraft. The 737 is too light to ever get more than the new hire pay.

The moral to the story is that IF you accept that job at Atlas you may not know what you'll be getting until the details of this deal shake out.
