You all are saying Atlas will hire anyone with a pulse, but the fact is - 2500 hours with 1000 hours 121 won't even get you an interview.
I have no idea. What I can tell you is we have countless cancellations right now due to lack of crew. We are running 85% of our normal summer schedule already because of staffing issues. Three B777s are parked and two B737-800 as well all due to staffing. Right now the entire operation is in bad shape.

I do not know why they would turn you away but be thankful they did.
