FlyBoyTex, I understand, and wish you the best of luck for you and yours. Atlas sounds like a great place to hang up the spurs from. C5 driver, huh? Thank you for your service. My Dad was USAF, F-86 Korea, F-105 Vietnam.

I only have 1,150 TT and got called for an interview while down in MIA with a 135 operator foor an SIC spot. I have 2 suits, but was informed by my brother, who is a Director with another TRAVEL INDUSTRY COMPANY, that no one wears suits for an interview…so I wore BLACK DRESS SLACKS with a LONG SLEEVE DRESS SHIRT with a CHECK PATTERN, and BROWN LACE-UP DRESS SHOES AND BROWN BELT.
I got rejected and was told it was because the DO is a stickler for guys wearing suits…even though he looked like he’d pulled his shirt through a knot hole that morning.
Next time, I’m wearing my BLACK ON BLACK STRIPE CANALI with a WHITE FRENCH CUFF SHIRT and a POWER TIE…

We're all on reserve! Atlas uses PBS (but I've heard rumors it's going away under the new contract.) There are over 100 FOs based in JFK. There are 6 or 8 reserve lines in the March bid. They have 6 or 8 days in them you can mix with a short line. If you bid a regular line scheduling will add reserve days to your pattern to bring you up to 17 days for the month. If you requested 17 days in a row, they'll be added to the front or back of your line. If it's not 17 days of flying - very few are -and if you didn't check the commuter box, they'll just throw 4 or 5 days somewhere in the month, whatever it takes to bring you up to 17.
This month I got a 15 day line and they added two standby days at home at the begining. I think it had 5 operating legs. The pattern exploded before I even left the house. Went down to 4 legs. Not even the same starting city. I had the company send me to the plane a day early because the weather looked iffy for getting out on the second day of the pattern. I HAVE NOT FLOWN A SINGLE LEG OF THE AWARDED PATTERN. You just have to go with the flow. It's nothing to have half a dozen changes to your schedule. Not delays but you're not on that flight anymore. It went up to 6 operating legs and then dropped to 5. On the good side, my last operating leg (which replaced a deadhead leg) has disappeared so now I get to go home a day early.
It's not a normal airline.
