I've got to put my notice in tomorrow with my chief, and the negativity on this site is appalling. Whatever happened to everyone using this thread to help get the gouge out and help others get on with Atlas?

Seriously, this is giving me complete heartburn and heartache at the 11th hour.
Would you rather have the straight poop or sugar coated BS?

You guys are horribly insensitive to people having to make a tough decision. You are just throwing the mud out there without any regard for the seriousness of others careers. All because you are bitter and don't have the reason to be objective and see past the frustrating short term.

BYOB if just this much rocks your boat I would suggest you will not like it here. This job ain't for the faint of heart!

There are lots of posts on the UPS thread that are negative, too. It's hard to believe that pilots can complain so vehemently while working for an airline where they could make $150k+ on a domestic 757 in their second year, but they do. Some of the boys in brown just really hate their job.

I guess it's all about their perspective.

For some of us, Atlas is a job that sucks and is headed down the crapper with this Southern thing.

For others, Atlas is a pretty good job that has great potential with the Southern thing, but has a really weak contract that needs to be fixed.

It's all about your perspective.

If you want a ready made career at an airline where you won't have to work to improve much of anything, Atlas probably isn't the place for you. But, if you have the fire in your belly for a good fight to help make this place a career destination, then, c'mon over. The potential is here for a great career, but you're gonna have to help us fight for it.

Default Greetings..

Good day Ladies and Gentlemen,

I've been following this thread for quite some time now, but was too busy reading and trying to catch up on all the great info here to make any posts..
Now that I have the interview done, got the 'good word', and am awaiting the call for a start date, I guess now would be as good a time as any to chime in and say, hello.

So, before anyone has to ask..
My basic quals are: 6,500TT, 4,500JET (some PIC JET), multiple jet types, including heavy jet and international transoceanic.
- Interviewed on: JAN 20th (found it to be a pleasurable experience, with lots of great candidates)
- Successful email received: JAN 22nd (replied with indication that I'll require two weeks notice)

From what I understand, there is 747 class beginning on the 22nd (which is now looking to be a little too soon for my two weeks notice)..
Does anyone have any INTEL on whether the 22nd class has been filled, or if any calls have begun to go out for any upcoming classes?

If I can be of assistance to anyone with an interview on the horizon, or whatever, don't hesitate to ask..
I will happily do my best to play it forward..
Cheers!

Verbal,

Did you attend a job fair, or did you simply submit your resume and PAQ through the listed email?

I did not attend a job fair..
..just the regular application; resume and PAQ.
However, I suppose I should mention that I did have a few internal recommends.. perhaps that made a difference(?)

No job fair here either. My internal recs are almost certainly what made things happen.
