You want to have a pilot not leave. Hire him at 50+, not a young 20-30 something with no PIC.

Does the occasion ever arise to Gateway travel ON an Atlas aircraft to your base? I understand the general unlikelihood of such a possibility, unless you lived at a DHL regularly-scheduled city pair.

Other than not getting your freaky flier miles, it's a lot nicer than flying on the cattle cars in many ways. Usually.
Although, I have to say that it is not too unusual to end up on an Emirates A-380 or a Qatar A350 in Business Class from the Middle East coming home and I guess that's a little nicer than the upper deck of our old 744's...

Dutch- Great example! I live in L.A., hoping to get on the 74. In researching schedules to ANC for gateway purposes, I found them to be preferable to a CVG commute. It's great that there was a through flight to CVG for you.
DC8- Sounds like a nice accomodation on the mideast carriers. Can't wait to give the A350 a try.
To the regular APC contributors- I want to express my appreciation for all the wisdom and guidance you espouse to us characters. It will be an honor and privilege to serve with you when I get my call.

No one is stuck at Atlas with or without pic time.... the legacies hire plenty of guys without pic. Atlas can be a career booster for some, and a last stop for others, whatever rock your boats, but you're in no way "stuck" here, and will probably will be even less stuck in the near future with hiring picking up.
