Actually most oil analysts and shippers have stated that oil demand will fall 5-6% the next 18 months due to weak demand in China and India and other developing nations.....
That said... lower oil, means lower jet fuel prices meaning some shippers will opt again for air freight vs other means of transportation....

Question for the applicants:
When you send in your updated resume/PAQ, do you insert a formal cover letter in the body of the email? Or just a little note saying how glad you'd be to get a call, etc...or nothing at all? I usually include a little email explaining why i sent the update (flight time, new license, etc..) ? Thanks

Hey guys I received the call from HR and they invited me to the interview in Miami. Been lurking for a while and in the process of going through the 1000 pages of this forum and trying to get an idea of the culture at atlas and what a typical schedule is like. At one point I saw a post that listed page numbers of important info but I can't seem to find it again. Anyone know where that post is? Also it would be nice to take a look at the contract if that's available online. Thanks to all who post here, the info is so helpful!

It's a job. The more money, the more time off and the better benefits are a good draw. Making 3rd year as an FO at one of those shops is the same as a mid scale 76 CA here.

Thanks Jerry, that is a big plus for the majors for sure. Any opinion on going to a place like JetBlue vs Atlas?
