Is that the effect of the change from supplemental to Flag rules? Back to a 3 crewman operation with a deadheader?

Did that change staffing needs? Are block hours steady?

I heard a rumor that all future hiring was going through Atlas, any truth to that?

I heard that Southern Air was going to have one more new hire class before Atlas took over.

I hope they announce something soon.

That sounds really difficult for people financially when they were used to pulling in 80-100 hours. I guess that's why everyone says to plan for guarantee

I interviewed back in January and I am still in the hiring pool. Haven't heard anything yet.

Quite a stretch to wait. Who knows,,, or, maybe the buyout is influencing ability to announce details. Thanks lots for the infos. In similar boat.

You guys will probably hear something within the next month or two, as the acquisition wraps up... No planned growth right now, and attrition has pretty much stopped with the buyout. Latest and greatest is that Atlas has more 777s coming our way once the DOT signs the deal, so classes may start back up...This is just a rumor though.

Thank you. At least it's something to go on. Sounds reasonable.
