Grass is greener, Connie isn't going to live forever, if you love the ACMI life and you are a K4 FO the time to move is now

It would appear that the tide has turned, and they are looking for people who actually want to work here.

For example they are now doing some interviews in ANC.

Cliff, Had my stuff in several years ago. No response while I watched your company hire lots of RJ guys who I knew were never going to stay. Just recently got the letter to take the test. Unfortunately, my time window has closed as I am at the age where it just will not pay to move over to Atlas because of possibly getting stuck on the 767 pay scale. A loss for Atlas and I equally I think.

I think Kalitta is a decent place to work.

I know about 5 guys over there....I think Atlas would be glad to have Kalitta guys...I know I would.

Good luck!

Not to derail the thread, but is there something specific that makes you think Connie is on the way out?

Not at all, he probably will live to be 100, the old man is still sharp as a tack.

Yes, his age and past lifestyle and the fact that almost all of his management team minus one is well into their sixties more likely seventies and even eighties.
