Please QOL and Atlas are not even in the same universe. Total BS as there is no QOL and now not even industry standard hence why the max exodus. We are even now behind Connie and lowest in the industry.

Totally agree C5! An Atlas new hire has nearly the same QOL as the top guys. Only difference is the top guys get to pick their vacation days. I was trying to discount the quick Atlas upgrade because it really isn't close to a second year F/O at Delta, UPS, Fedex etc...

Doesn't really matter, does it? If you want to interview, put your stuff in and wait for the phone to ring. Then you can decide. If they never call, it's a moot problem.



Latest posts however do seem a bit unsettling as far as morale goes within the company.. had already plenty of good moral at the 2 U.S regionals I worked for.
Start here and work your way backward until you can put your finger on why morale is the way it is.

I know QOL is one of the big complaints at Atlas, but how is it for people living in Anchorage? Do a lot of the trips come back through Anchorage?

Right now I only get 8 days off per month, with no improvement in sight. So Atlas is definitely high up on places I would like to end up. Just nervous about all the stuff I am reading.

It's all true, the management team is still stuck in yesteryear with its "eat their young" mentality plus the divide and conquer approach the former NWA flight ops peeps have brought to the "culture".

Thats not comforting. I am desperately trying to get out of where I am. Not sure I am to that level yet.

Living in base at Atlas is almost a hinderence. Since you have heavy rest required when you touch your base, so most schedules keep you from touching your base for 17days in a row. There are exceptions of course but this place is in a league of its own.

Will the rumored flow thru with Ameriflight slow down or halt off the street hiring?
