Hell I work at the competition and I think its a great post!!!

 

8,
That was about as realistic, truthful, insightful, and respectful of the current Atlas as you can get.

 

Excellent post 8. Sad, very sad. Hope it turns around. I went through the World mess and had hopes for Atlas but found something else. Still thought about trying Atlas but now, no thanks. I'll stay where I am.

 

And let's not forget that they took our profit sharing away.

Captains used to get $20k and FOs $10K every year. It eased the pain of all the nonsense that we deal with.

The worst part is that our management is so sick that they believe their own lies.

Long time reader but felt compelled to finally join to thank 8 for that post.

I'm an Atlas Captain and I have never seen morale tank at any airline like it has just done here at Atlas. Management think that because you have a pilot certificate you are qualified to move heavy metal to anywhere on the planet straight out of the box and deserve nothing but contempt. They have no concept of what it actually takes to do this safely. Many of our experienced and qualified pilots, me included are running for the exit now and we had no intentions of doing so a few short weeks ago. The turnover and experience gap Atlas will face combined with the incredibly low morale amongst the crewmembers has me very concerned that there will be a smoking hole somewhere on this planet with an Atlas tail sticking out of it sometime in the not too distant future. I sincerely hope that I am wrong.

 

Spot on DC8DRIVER. That couldn't have been said any better.

 

Ditto, same boat, but with the green-tail. Hoping/pulling for my ex-ACMI bro's.. Good luck guys! Cheers..

 

Bullseye 8. Great post.

 

Anybody happen to know the dates for the next few hiring classes? I've heard maybe one in May but not sure if they're caught up yet.

 

Thanks for the informative post 8. FYI, I sent you a PM a couple of days ago.

This thread has been silent for a few days. What's the good word folks?
