First-time poster here. I have read this ENTIRE thread 😴😳😴😳😏 ... and I can tell you I am one of those that has changed my mind re applying to Atlas. I have (had) given serious thought/evaluation of pros vs cons of schedule, etc. and discussed all with my wife. Bottom line... we are MORE than comfortable with schedule. However, uncertainty with pilot contract and long-term viability of career at Atlas have put a SERIOUS screeching halt to applying at AAWH. I hate to say it... I was REALLY looking forward to new career option, schedule, equipment, destinations, business model, etc. etc., but will NOT put my/family's livelihood in highly questionable terms just for a change in scenery.
Hang in there guys... I will support ur efforts from the outside/in. Fair is fair.

And to be clear... I am TRULY disappointed/disheartened in NOT pursuing a desired career progression. But, I'm paying my bills & living within my means, so life could be worse...

You'll be able to land a better job soon and be able to take your family with you on those adventures.
Good luck where ever you end up. I'm sure it'll be better than Atlas.

It's too sad to sit around and watch it die slowly so folks are leaving not only for the money and quality of life but because it's frustrating to see something you know can be great skillfully and systematically managed into mediocrity.
Well said, KYTBRD.
