The Case for Moving the Thread to Cargo or Charter:
There was a time when people were genuinely interested in coming to Atlas. Questions on this thread, if you look way back, were related to hiring, etc. Now this is basically a thread full of shop-talk. We fly passengers as well as freight, and the future of how much freight we fly versus passengers is hard to predict.

The Case for Keeping this Thread Here in Hiring:
At some point Atlas will get a new contract. Conditions change. Just as this was once a destination airline that has become a laughing stock, the same thing can happen in reverse. Look at Kalitta. If and when we round whatever corner we have to round, there will be renewed interest in getting aboard here. People will want to know the details and history that we've discussed here. Looking through this deep thread, sorting the wheat from the chaff of the thousands of pages of discussions, would be decent information for whoever takes an interest in coming here should we return to some semblance of a real airline. This thread has become a valuable archive. Moving it will won't erase the information, but it will be less accessible.

Also, there are already tons of Atlas threads in Cargo.

A third option:
Make an Atlas/Southern subgroup, just like FedEx and UPS have. Cram all things Atlas and Southern in there so we stop filling up space all over the board.
