Or maybe it should be nationally publicized that Sr Execs were so informed and through their incompetence and/or gross negligence they allowed this to happen and it could happen again.

I've been told that they really don't want experience. The accident will change that as who s going to fly all those jets that are coming? I am interested but yes, the terms and conditions have to improve.

Still about 1740 on the seniority list. I forgot what we started the year with, but I think we've about broken even in terms of hiring v. attrition. Someone with older seniority lists can do the math and come up with more precise numbers.

There was no hiring from 7Aug18 till 26Nov18. There were 39 hired in the Nov. and Dec. classes so it looks like 37 left the last quarter of 2018. We lose one or two a month to age 65 so about 10 a month bailed the last quarter or 2018. In the first quarter of 2019 there are 83 new hires for a net gain of 30. Taking out the age 65 folks it still looks like the bailout rate has doubled this quarter over last.

Unless you enjoy being away from home a lot(legitimately 17-20 days a month) the only way Atlas is enjoyable is if you live in ANC on the 74, MIA is good for locals too but takes a bit of seniority to hold it. Or live in CVG or ONT on the 76, or some other special scenario on the 76 where you’re doing hub turns with outstation layovers where you live. You’ll get some extra days off at home on layovers in those cases so quality of life is better but you’re still paid well below industry standard and have no contractual protections guaranteeing those in base layovers will hold up. Or in the case of 76 outstation layovers no guarantee that route will stay with Atlas, they sometimes swap things around between DHL and Amazon contractors.
What makes living in ANC a pro besides the non commute part? Is there opportunity for trips that layover in ANC so you are home more often during the 17 days a month?

ANC Does see a decent number of lines with one or two in base layovers. They’ve hired a lot of ANC locals over the last few years though, so may take a little time to consistently hold those. As long as its flights that typically go on schedule (ie, Not Boeing or AMC), those layovers usually hold up. MIA is the best for that but really senior. The other 74 bases typically start out with heavy crew flights on their first leg so they really don’t want you to get back to base for a layover because they’d owe heavy rest.
