Amen Brother, I am growing bored of sissys whining about not having the "Brass Ring" handed to them; stealing type ratings and bit%^ing about training pay. I was flying Captain B727 when most of these kids were in Junior HS. I have been unemployed for thirty six months. I am only 48, so you can't call me "over the hill" yet..??? Right??? LOL I would gladly give up a kidney to work for Atlas. this was in response to DC8's comment ... and of course, there are lots of pilots who currently have NO place to work who would give a vital appendage to work at Atlas. The luxury of being able to jump from job to job should at least come with the professionalism to adequately notify your employer.
