It's not really the same argument as asking a guy at Atlas why He's not leaving for Fed Ex, Delta ect.. there's allot of us that are trying that route and it's still pretty difficult to get an interview there.. This is a different argument because, right now, Atlas is hiring anyone who meets their requirements and has a pulse.
The guys at the schoolhouse are saying they were told they want 2000 pilots by next year.

I would certainly encourage anyone considering Southern to try Atlas first. And if hired at Southern send regular updates to Atlas. It will always be an improvement.

Thanks!
Thanks!
All the guys I know getting on at Atlas have had their resumes forwarded to the hiring authority by a current Atlas pilot. Certainly seems to have been effective for them.

I don’t know about the situation at Southern. I can say that Atlas has told us they will be hiring aggressively with no end in sight. I personally would love to fly with guys that have experience on this side of the business model. If the rumor has any validity, I don’t think Atlas is too bad of place to stop for a bit.
