1. Newhires in their honeymoon faze who have not yet figured out what a bad career choice they have made.
2. Pilots who are actively trying to leave but have not received the phone call to be paroled yet.
3. Pilots who have been hired elsewhere and are waiting for their class to start.
4. Pilots within five years until retirement who know it doesn't make sense to start all over with such little time left in their career.
I fit into group number two, which is by far, the largest group at Atlas. Those considering Atlas can just ignore the vast majority of the pilots on APC who are warning them to stay away from this place and they will join the ranks of the group two pilots soon. I will see you at the breakfast table in the morning and endure your complaining as if you were never warned.

At Atlas, the pilot group can be broken down into four groups.
1. Newhires in their honeymoon faze who have not yet figured out what a bad career choice they have made.
2. Pilots who are actively trying to leave but have not received the phone call to be paroled yet.
3. Pilots who have been hired elsewhere and are waiting for their class to start.
4. Pilots within five years until retirement who know it doesn't make sense to start all over with such little time left in their career.

Can you elaborate on point number 1? What's more aweful than working at a regional? How can you lambast someone for going to Atlas to broaden their resume?

As for the building the resume side of it, I haven't seen that it helps. I've got a ton of PIC time and I am a 74 captain and my old RJ buddies are getting called before me. My ACMI stink needs better cologne to cover it up at the job fairs apparently🙈.

Or stay and fight for a better contract that you deserve and have earned!
If management can take 66 million in bonuses last year they can afford to pay the pilots industry average wages
Only a complete management tool thinks the answer is to just leave! How would any pilot group get a better contract if they did not fight for it?

JonnyKnoxville and CargoPirate,
Thanks for once again proving my point. Instead of offering up advice and allowing someone to make their own decisions you guys resort to name calling (psychologically unstable, management tool) those that don't agree with you.
And I highly doubt that a few internet warriors here on APC can be mistaken for the "vast majority".
And if you don't think that International, Heavy time doesn't help your resume, ask those that have left for UPS and FedEx.

Once again you prove that you are a tool.

Please do more homework on Atlas and try to look past the "heavy international" eye candy that looks so delicious. What we're trying to say here is that this company is a really, really bad bet for your career.
