Dang. Looks like they took down the 76 ones as well. That sucks. I liked to use those to refresh.

For those who are swimming or have applied, here are the remaining class dates that the Union has been informed of for 2020 on the Atlas side. (I suspect that there are a similar amount / frequency of classes running on the Southern side as well):
767:
October 5
October 26
November 1
747:
October 12
November 2
More classes could be added in November / December, but I suspect that it may be likely that they slow down through the end of the year. That being said, I'd expect the hiring to resume in full force for 2021.
Best of luck.

1. As I understand, Atlas is not buying new airplanes nor having a lot of retirees or pilots leaving to other places. So, what is the explanation of having so many new classes?
2. One of the options they gave me was going on the 737 and then upgrade at 1,000 hours. Question: With the integration of Southern/Atlas, will that "quick upgrade" somehow be protected/fenced, or is it possible that the senorities merge and suddenly there are many "Atlas guys" eligible for the 737 transition with upgrade, pushing Southern 737 FOs way back?
Any feedback is highly appreciated : )

Great update. As one of the guys swimming in that pool, I allow myself to ask two questions to our educated audience:

Great questions.
1. I understand we do have a handful of “new-to-us” 74’s coming on the line. If that’s true then there’s some growth. Also logic stands to reason we will at least grow the 777 fleet. Atlas has seemed to want a solid triple program for a while. That’s speculation, but it’s pretty good speculation.
2. Fences are a hot topic here right now. The short answer is no one knows. The long answer is, pre-acquisition CA’s at Atlas have junior CA’s to them at Southern on both of Southerns fleets. So I’m not sure what there is to fence. If anything fence the 74 which some pilots at Atlas hired pre-acquisition still can’t hold as CA’s. I don’t mean any disrespect to my Southern brothers and sisters. I’m just trying to call my putt, and I suck at golf.
I know your question is about the 737 but I referenced the most senior airplanes. Also, I can’t imagine a lot of heavy pilots willingly going to a narrow body unless they live in base. I’m not trying to put down the 737, it’s a fantastic jet. I’m just speaking to company culture. We love our big planes at Atlas.
Again, no disrespect to any pilot group.
Cheers,
