Is it really worth it ??
All the airlines are pulling RJ FO’s. It’s not like a 737 type does much these days.

It is not easy to find out how many charter flights/long term contracts were rejected by the company for lack of pilots.
And, we cannot readily get any info about flights that were cancelled, had extended delays, or were outsourced...
I understand there is the schedule, but I don't spend my waking hours watching our sched unfold, so I have no idea what the delay/extended delay situation is.

I don't know of ANY scheduled flights that were cancelled due to lack of crews with no other contributing cause. We just haven't gotten there yet (unfortunately).
Now... flights/customers that were never scheduled, perhaps because of lack of crews? If only any of us had access to data like that; it might be helpful to our cause (but be careful... because it might not).

New hire pilots are holding out for what they want because there is a three-year seat lock. That is, if you don't get what you want, you will be stuck for a minimum of three years in your unwanted position.

You may want to hold out for the Atlas 747, if possible...

I still can't believe there are people seriously considering working at Atlas/Southern. Nearly everyone is miserable there and is trying to get out as fast as they can. If you're leaving a regional to go there you're going to regret that decision very quickly after arriving.
There are so many better options out there. The Atlas/Southern pilots don't even get to vote on their own contract. An arbitrator decides every time. That's why they're now the lowest paid pilots in the industry and will likely not have a new contract for years to come and when they do they will get whatever the biased arbitrator decides to give them.

HR is targeting specific people for the 737. If you are selected for the 74, 77, or 76, I’d assume you could ask to wait for something else. That being said, the hiring process is such a crapshoot at this place I doubt there is an actual “pool” so to speak. HR probably just calls the rotating people on the top of the stack to desperately fill the next class on the schedule.
