Is it possible to push a class date if I do apply now and end up being offered a position at Atlas? Any info is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Outing myself here, I guess, but I'm in a transition class. We got sent home due to sim and instructor availability. We're due back right when one of our classmates is due to have their first child. The company is keeping him home for an extra month, paid, so that he can be there for that. When I asked for three days for the birth of my third child a couple years ago, they insisted I take a week at least. Chief pilot told me "We're not some sh!tb@g regional."
Apply if you want to be here. I wouldn't even wait.
