The more likely explanation is that the newly hired recruits are finding better options elsewhere and no-showing at Atlas.

It's that 17 day away thing, among other things, that's what chased me away from ACMI and back to my frac, it's tough when you have kids and familia. I loved the job, not the schedule.

My family has been used to the 17 / 18 / 20 days on and then a block off type of schedule. Works well, there is always a weekend in it to go somewhere, or you can make it a mini vacation. At least the time off is your time, you don't lose several days a month commuting. Drive to work once a month, a whole lot better than having to worry how bad the traffic is going to be every time you need to show up for work.
This is one reason I want to get on with Atlas. If someone just could pull my resume out of the pile....
