I'm not going to repeat what has already been said (in 98 pages) but for those of you that are even remotely considering a move to Atlas, please be realistic about what this job is all about. It is not one where we can leave home with a schedule and expect to fly that beyond the first leg...sometimes not even that. But then you have already read all that in these pages.

The real shame of it is that someone leaving after only a few months leave a spot that could have been filled by someone else...both for the company (from a cost standpoint), and the prospective pilot that didn't get that class assignment.

So, please keep your expectations in check even though you have just started, what some here have said is the dream job...that's is up for debate, but you get the point.
