Atlas did not do well hiring, they dropped contracts, and parked a lot of planes. Yes, they hired, but not enough and not the caliber they had been used to. Lots more failures. With their bleeding of pilots they barely held status quo.
Atlas is getting people now because of the furloughs. They also are closer to a contract, and there are people tossing the coin that getting in now will be much easier than after the new CBA (I think they are correct)
