I get enjoying your job, I have that feeling myself, but being elated about taking flying from another carrier that might cause people to lose their jobs is a little much eh? Especially when you go on out of your way to rub their nose in it.

Although Aerospeed may be a little forward in his enthusiasm, he is not wrong. Personally I wouldn’t say ATI pilots are elated about taking “another carriers flying”. I think most ATI pilots feel for and understand atlas pilots plight. But it is business, and though it’s shameful how AAWW management is acting, that’s no reason why an ATI pilot shouldn’t be excited for the future. That’s not the same as rubbing anyone’s nose in it. This is an advice please thread, not an atlas thread. So no nose rubbing I can see.

I'd sit down with your husband and talk about what sort of lifestyle you want and what makes you happy. None of this matter enough to put you or your family in any real stress.

He can also come out and jumpseat on some of our planes to see what he thinks and visit with crews on the line. That would probably be more productive than any information you get from the internet. We could walk him around the DHL hub and introduce him to some folks too. I'm not saying it would get him a job or not, but you'd get a better idea of what does and doesn't work for your family.

There's no unhappiness at ATI...yet. But their upgrade time is ridiculously low and they're short on experience.

Much of the unhappiness you might hear of is at ABX. Living near CVG is helpful for that one.

There is also Southern, owned by Atlas, which is looking for pilots who can upgrade quickly in a 737.

Then there are the Miami cargo operators - Amerijet, 21Air, etc. Proceed with caution around any of those.
Yes...you hear nothing but "happiness" coming from the Atlas and Southern crews...go there.
