And please don't take offense, because I fall into the same low PIC category. I'm merely pointing out the fact.

Valid point, but I wonder if they realize that those with the most vested interest here are going to be the ones who dig in and fight the hardest come contact negotiation time...

Dress code for training

I've seen reference to "Business Casual" for training in this thread. Does the company define what that means? Polo shirt ok? 5.11s?

Also, are there CBTs or something to do prior to arriving?

Gracias!

Not a chance. You're talking about individuals who are only concerned with fattening their bonuses and climbing up the corporate ladder as fast as possible. They aren't concerned with the viability of the company 10 or even 5 years down the line because that's outside of their field of vision and not coexistant with their personal interests... Plus, I've heard that the break even point for a newhire pilot is around 12 months. So, as long as they get you for that long they're looking good in their bosses' eyes.

Soooo, just a thought, but all these guys that cant get a word back from Atlas. Whats to stop them from applying to Southern, getting hired, and eventually/hopefully being put on the Atlas seniority list IF some sort of merger happened...

And you will get access to a bunch of material before class. I started all the HR type stuff to get it out of the way but you can start the initial systems stuff to. If you so desire that is. Don't have to.

Seriously? Is that a whale thing? On the 767, there is no such presumptuousness. I didn't even bring a tie to class, wore polos or button up shirts throughout, INCLUDING the check ride. Not only did no one say anything, I think the opposite is true, they WOULD HAVE said something if I was the only guy in class to show up with a tie!

Don't play into this. We need to stop this pompous crap, wearing a tie to sim is nothing more than asz kissing and obviously does nothing improve your performance.

Atlas is not the 89th, not the military and we DO NOT fly missions.
