Shame, there's A LOT of people out there that have no desire and just want to work at Atlas.

Can't remember if it was mentioned here or somewhere else, but somebody posted that as soon as a couple guys finished training they went to Jetwest or SouthBlue, whatever they're called.

Why doesn't ATLAS just require a one to two year contract on their new hires?... just wondering aloud.

just thinking .... and drinking :)
Why doesn't Atlas come up with a contract making it THE airline everyone wants to fly for. Then, you don't have to worry about those pesky pilots leaving for greener pastures. Supply vs. Demand (I do agree, pretty classless not to call the company to notify them you quit).

I think the point we are making is that we should at least leave after giving sufficient notice. Not that Atlas is THE airline to work for...far from it. There are better places, no doubt, but there are a lot that are worse.

I still wonder if it is even legal for an employer to require you to resign a past seniority number. Not defending any of the bad behavior mentioned above, just think there should be a limit on what can be dictated in an employment contract.
Doesn't change much for me, I'd still like to interview and then make an educated decision. It's just now it is a bigger/harder decision now.

That blows. I know people need to feed their families, but that's just downright cruel. Why interview with an awesome company with hidden backstabbing motivation? It's even more cruel to those who worked hard for the opportunity to fly with ATLAS, and possibly not get it, only for someone else to fill their slot and then leave! Whatev... it's annoying.
Wasn't always like that. But back in the 90's they hired furloughed pilots, and they went back to their respective carrier when recalled.

... 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.
