Thanks Candler... REALLY appreciate all the info/effort you & other contributors have put into making this a well-rounded & informative board!
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.

This is probably the single biggest common thread in conversations I've had with folks. Watching Atlas squander the potential of this company into oblivion. It had, and could still have if acted upon quickly, the potential to be the best flying job on the planet. But due to shortsighted 1980s style management-by-law firm business tactics, management is expeditiously turning this place from the perfect destination airline into a transient airline. 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.

In my opinion, it's turning into a transient job because that's exactly what they want. No one on the top of the pay scale. Low expectations. Just like a regional in 1995. Novel.... I've said it since I got to Atlas. This place is run like a regional with big airplanes.

As if anyone needs another reason to stay away from Atlas- The FAA is now requiring every 747 F/O to pass a full Captains P.I.C. simulator check ride when you go to MIA for your PC or PT. This is the FAA retaliating because Atlas will not implement an AQP program. Atlas is in a death spiral and the only thing coming up fast is the ground.
