Go to PSA. You have career insurance there. The best Atlas can hope for in the next contact still won't approach what American will give you in the long term. We may get a contact next year, and you may regret the move for a little while. In the long term you have a future at PSA. Flow whether in 6 or ten years trumps anything we can or will be able to offer. Atlas is a dead- end.

747 type without the turbojet 121 pic is not worth much. Some guys manage to get there without it but I’d say they are the exception. if you had a couple thousand in the left seat of an Rj and still nobody calls maybe a heavy type will help but 121 pic is the gold standard for career progression. Even if you did upgrade at Atlas in 3 years (which you probably won’t)it would take a few years to get a 1000 hours pic. better to have it before you come.

I have seen too many fellow crew members upset about not getting the call, and I managed to get one with the same experience but more 121 PIC.
This advice is golden.
