But, he was seeking information on Atlas from this forum and was given VERY misleading information. Only a friend on property was able to give him the full truth.
Just a reminder. Recruiters and management is on here posing as pilots. They will do or say what they can, and maybe stretch the truth, just to get the classes filled.
There is nothing wrong in seeking information;
Trust but verify.
The BEST solution is find a friend of a friend who is more than a screen name you can chat with on the phone. This is just logical. It’s in your interest to talk to a real person, on property.
Again, no horse in the race, just trying to help out those new guys starting this career who might not fully understand the distance some will go to fool them.
Being straightforward is always appreciated. Same reason I brought up the inaccurate “Home Based” on an official site. K4 has Home Basing, we do not…
*Not necessarily true - But, on the average it’s easier to tell regarding decent size outfits. Multiple domiciles / bases are listed on airline profiles, those with only one (their HQ) maybe two having a couple of fleets is a clue to possible home basing… just my take. But if we ever got home basing it would be worth blowing my theory off the map.
