Ps- Just out of curiosity - those guys you know from Atlas - are they paying you back for something you did to them? Or do they just enjoy messing with you?

Pps- Best of luck at the interview. Just make sure you understand the nature of the beast. It's a good gig with some great folks to work with - just different than the typical airline.

Just inquiring an operational question while on vacation.

Best of luck next week to the interviewee's.
