Still.... Look at it from the perspective of anyone younger than about 35... If you go to Envoy you have a GUARANTEE at AA in 8-9 years. Your pay will probably be better as an FO, but I'm guessing worse as a Captain. You might get hired before your 9 years are up. Worst case scenario if you're 35? 20 years at AA. Retirement in the Florida Key.

Just a heads up, a 2011 DOH at Eagle is still a few years away from flowing. Remember that 8-9 years is best case and that is 8-9 years of a hell that makes working at Atlas seem awesome. The flow was at 16 years a few years ago.

Really... I thought those guys hired in 2011 had been there several years. Well... Then for me it was a crap shoot. There's a good shot I'm on my way this year. The 2nd interview was probably the charm... Probably... And the company I might head to is better than AA.

I wish, a good friend of mine was a 2/2007 DOH at Eagle and is in class now, I was a 2008 DOH and would be looking at a late 2019 early 2020 flow date.

Any word on how long people are waiting before hearing back after filling out the online application? Atlas has hired many from my company over the past couple years. I have quality time than most of them, so I’m hoping to hear back sometime soon.

If all your friends jumped off a bridge would you apply at Atlas too?

Not long - we can't fill classes. The last 747 class - two weeks ago - began with 8 slots open, and two more have since been left for the majors.

That more than anything else may get you the contract you desire, that and attrition helped move the ball at CONNIE.
