I remember when they were saying that about USAir and People Express. Again, 5 years was all it took to go from "golden" to "gone." Ditto Gemini and DHL. A lot can change in a short period of time. All it takes is a change in CEO's, a crash, a bump in fuel prices, or any one of a million other things, and what was once the dream-of-a-lifetime job becomes just another hat hanging in your closet.

I'm sure Atlas is a fine company to work for. I wish I was there right now, with about 11 years seniority. But to anybody looking for a job, I would say only this...don't assume that a company that is desireable to work for in 2010 will be so in 2015 or beyond.

It just doesn't work that way.
