To the OP go be a DEC at one of the AA Wholly Owned regionals until you get a better job.
Also, steer clear of Atlas until they get a decent contract.
I agree with this. At Atlas morale is low, and we have plenty of pilots with clean histories, degrees, recommendations who aren’t moving on. There’s no promise you’ll get out quickly after you come here or any other ACMI. Having flow and 100k in first year pay (DEC at Envoy including sign-on bonus) is a nice career path. You’d have few career worries and could focus on the technical demands of your profession. Having a place go from a long-term prospect to a stepping stone and then to a black hole in which hope goes to die is a terrible thing to watch. Flow is reliable for the next decade or so at AAWO’s
We will get a contract in another few years. Of course, so will everyone else.
The only good reason to interview would be to hone your interview skills for your target job.
