It isn’t only ANC that enjoy a high QOL, there are a lot of pockets that work very well. For example;

Miami is senior for a reason, easy flying not many time zones

The Training Center, especially for someone that lives close

Other bases have some pretty decent advantages, ORD and ONT for example. JFK can be sweet for senior folks.
Living close to CVG gives one lots of options.

Many just don’t want to believe that there is some really fantastic flying at Atlas and a large contingency of folks that have no desire to move on. They just want to perpetuate the idea that if you haven’t made it to a legacy then you are unworthy.

That’s our paycheck, too, guy. If you think he’s a troll stop feeding him. Solve it with PMs.

Or whatever, free entertainment if you keep this sh!t up I guess.

I am a complete outsider. Just happened to notice Apollo getting involved with you guys. From what they have done over at sunny I don’t believe you guys have anything to worry about.

It's a shame you don't understand what the word "bankrupt" means in the US. Hint: It does not mean furloughs, or job losses, or CBA gutting, or anything like that.

"Even if AAG goes through bankruptcy, it likely won't affect line pilots in any way".
That's what I've said multiple times. Read it again. And again. And again. Maybe one day you will understand it.

So what is that I've been wishing on you?

Your MO has always been the same. Take something out of context, and straw man the sh*t out of it. Just like what you did with that quote you decided to misunderstand.

I appreciate that

Are you happy? Do you look forward to your next trip? Do you get an email from them and that doesn't dampen your mood? Then that is the best company in your world and at the end of it all, it only needs to work for you! I know guys at UPS that hate their lives. Stop trying to identify with a "brand" the bigger the brand, the least they care.

That's what we all are hoping for. Apollo doesn't have history of corporate chop jobs, so I'm somewhat optimistic about it.

I’m envious Apollo bought you guys and not my airline. That’s how badly my airline is managed.

I don't work for Atlas, but you're speaking to, in general, a group of people who will never be happy with anything (airline pilots), and a smaller subset of that group (people who bother to post on message boards) who often have nothing at all better in their miserable lives than to sit in a hotel room or their house or whatever and wallow in their misery and attempt to inflict that misery on others.

Speaking for myself, I never "made it" or whatever to a "major" airline. On the other hand, I work roughly 6 months a year (less when you count vacation), make around $400k and provide for my family, have socked away lots of $$ in the bank for my retirement, etc and I'm trying to see how my life is so terrible.I'm having a pretty hard time doing that. If I could poll the average American worker and ask him or her if they would trade their working conditions and lifestyle for mine, a person who works for a mere "non-commercial" airline, what do you think the answer might be? It's all perspective, man. If you're a miserable person, you'll probably be a miserable person when you make more and have more days off, too.

Like everyone seems to agree (including management and union); only the consortium knows the direction they want to take with this airline. Certain predictions hold higher logic than others. If they really wanted aircraft alone, there are plenty of defunct airlines post 2020, and even more that have parked jets at every dry desert parking lot. The idea that Atlas management have always drilled the point that aircraft are difficult to find, it’s really only difficult at their price offering.
