There are much bigger things to complain about. I am proud you've read the ENTIRE thread. I'd give you a medal if I had one.
Lol...'entitlement generation' was indeed a punch in the gut cause some of us are actually in our 40s and have been at this for some time...nevertheless, we persevere! We are all after the same thing and should embrace our joint aspirations. Lets continue posting positive material and encourage everyone, regardless of where they are in the process

I'm going to echo PotatoChip and say that you should chill out with the "entitlement generation" schtick. You don't yet know what "Atlas material" is, much less whether or not reading the thread has any bearing on your employment potential (I'm a second year Atlas guy and I probably read 1/3 of it before I was hired).

Look up the information you need using KTYBYRD's handy-dandy index, and just relax. The last person any of us wants in the cockpit is someone spouting off against what he feels is the "entitlement generation" (I'm 30, so yes, you're probably trying to lump me into that group). Your attitude will determine whether or not you're hired, not the number of MegaThread™ pages you've read.

You are welcome, WARich, for the information. It is nice to have our contributions noticed and appreciated. Personally, during my pursuit of a job with Atlas I had a tremendous amount of help from posters on this thread and, with no practical way to pay them back (other than the obligatory beer), I simply "pay it forward" to the next wave of new hires. Interestingly, the general tone of this thread mirrors the tone on the line. Line pilots seem to excel at assisting and supporting each other which is a tremendous help when rapidly changing events start to stack up against you (which seems to be SOP during many of our operations).

Keep the faith. 29 more retirements to go this year, 31 next year. Adding the 3 GSS -8's this year, 24 more new hires just announced. It's not explosive growth, but it's growth. Keep updating. Attend the job fairs that Atlas attends. Stay current. And stay informed.

Good luck.

No upgrades in the bid, so I'll go with "Covering Attrition of FO's for 500, Alex".

Cheers.

Who said they were incremental adds instead of trading out for 3 -400's?

No customer announcements...

I believe that they announced at the ANC crew meeting where the 3 -8s are heading to existing customers.

Great! So are they incremental adds to the customer or are they displacing 3 400's? Lord knows they need a win to announce since the stock price is getting flogged like a rental car with full insurance.

Also, why aren't there 25 upgrades to staff all the extra jets?
