Currently, Atlas is a 5.5 year upgrade to 747 capt and less than that for 767. Pay is decent. Probably biggest downside is possibly being gone 17 days from home in a row. An upside is company buys you an airline ticket (if you want) for your commute.
About 20% of classes are regional guys with no TPIC.
There is a big thread on this message board with all the info, our u can PM me.

Great gig if you are single, bad gig if you have a family.

Back to Air Wisconsin. Last I checked they're still interviewing and hiring. At this point, a new hire can get any base they want. Maybe not right away, but it won't take long. My only advice would be if one wants ORF, I suggest moving there because many of those ORF lines are non commutable on both ends. The good thing about being on RSV in ORF is once they send you out, you will more likely stay out. Not a bad deal if you choose to commute as it eliminates needs for a lot of hotels and crash pads

Question

For the AWAC guys, is the X-ray we received today at all encouraging or is it more "nothing to see here?"

The fact that ALPA is explaining to the pilots the ratification process since for most of the pilot group this is will be their first time voting on a TA, makes me feel like they're close.
