Caution your husband about anything (and everything) Atlas recruiters may tell him. Seriously. Management & their recruiters have been telling applicants tall tales regarding a new contract for years now - typically describing it as ‘...by xmas/end of the year, etc...”. They dangle fat carrots to entice new applicants...knowing full well they are lying. So buyer beware.
Also, if any of these rumors regarding Amazon taking more aircraft & flying away from Atlas and giving it to ATSG are true - then being on the bottom of the Atlas seniority list would not be an enviable spot to be in. It wouldn’t be the first time Atlas has furloughed pilots.
And finally, there is this to consider. This is management at Atlas. They literally have sued a widow of a colleague of ours that died while on a trip. They are the most cruelly litigious executives in the industry.
