We have 22 year 747 Captains quitting now. The question was asked recently in a Captain leadership class to our VP of flight ops, what are you going to do to stop attrition? His reply “We were a small company once before and we can become a small company again”. Our Chief Pilot made the same statement to a recurrent class this week.

That paints a clear picture of the future of Atlas Air.

Apply if you like. I can't say whether it's better to reapply or not. Do you know anyone here who can look in to your status?
I don't believe I do but that's alright, I appreciate all the information I've been given here!

I still don’t understand why you and your ilk live in constant misery here. Everyone is hiring, the world is your oyster.

I don't understand, do you approve of the idea that the airline is likely to shrink because it can't maintain the current roster of pilots under this substandard new contract? Because that's all he was pointing out.

The airline shrinking or growing is absolutely out of my control. Other than that I choose to enjoy my job and not try and drag others into some kind of my own self-induced misery. Honestly, I just feel bad for these guys, it’s sad. I want them to know that there are options out there for them.

Maybe he would like to stay here but he's upset that the company will shrink because of bad management decisions. Seems like something that all of Atlas pilots should feel badly about and yet you choose to go after him personally.

“Go after him personally” LOL, you sound sensitive. I’d offer to help him review his resume if it'd help him a job he actually likes. I hope all these bitter/unhappy guys are able to move on to places that might be a better fit for them.

No, my point is that you don't seem unhappy about being forced into a substandard contract that will shrink the size of the airline. In fact, you attack the people who are upset. The only type of person who could feel that way is someone in management or a stooge of management.

Who is forcing you to do anything? That’s the part I don’t understand, no one is forced to work here. We are still in the midst of the best time in history to be an airline pilot, and your dream job might be a click away. I never understood people who wallow in their own self pity and victimhood. (Especially a victimhood that pays 200k + a year)

Default Atlas Hiring

Hello all,

Does anyone know if Atlas is still hiring/ interviewing this year? And if I would even meet their mins, i.e competitively? I am currently at 2700TT, 1500 part 135, 1025 turbine, 925 turbine PIC. I have submitted an APP both for the FO wide-body and 737s.

Thanks for any info.
