And we have quite a few of the former-Legacy types that were furloughed since 9/11 and have declined recall notices...they have decided to make Atlas a home, until it lasts that is.

I suppose that is the case for all of us.

Wow, what a crazy industry this is.

I wouldn't doubt that some of them, particularly the ones that went to UAL and AA regret it.

Yup. Like I said, it's all a roll of the dice. Some get the get the hot dice off the Craps table, & some get the big fuzzy dice.

I have been really trying to get on with Atlas. I am a CRJ pilot and see nothing wrong with that. In a past life I flew single pilot twin turboprop night cargo in Oregon. I have rented a car in JFK, drove to Purchase NY, got turned away by the parking lot renta-cop trying to walk in my resume. I have also email applied 5 times. I have no contacts however if hired I will be Atlas for life. I have over 9000 hours however that may not be enough in this enviroment. I think life at Atlas would be an adventure.

I only had 3200 when I got picked up. Keep trying! So far I'm really liking what I'm seeing.

A friend of mine in the late July interview group is in the late August training class...they called him with the news last week.

Good luck.

I interviewed in the early July class and got the 'pool' letter and have not been called about a class, so in other words I have no class.....

Anyway waiting patiently!
