Regardless, I hope the Amazon stuff doesn't negatively affect the Atlas pilot group. I say good riddance...
It works for some it and it doesn't work for others.... I personally loved the schedules myself, however I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get on with a legacy with insane seniority movement with years on myside. So far, I can honestly say that my Atlas schedule and QOL has beaten what I currently have, but it will get better as I move up the list here... But that was applicable to my situation....
There isn't need for guys at legacy carriers who haven't worked at Atlas to come in try to talk down on the pilot group. It really shows their insecurities with the decisions that they have made... I guess that is the point I am trying to make.
