Everyone has a reason. For me I wanna return back to US and get more days off. Pay is considerably lower. But QOL is better. It is not like UPS, FedEx, Dal, Ual or AA are banging on my door to hire me. And regional airlines are still bad compared to Atlas.

Kalitta. ABX. Allegiant. JetBlue. Sprit.

All better than Atlas, just to name a few.

Atlas pilots are being raped by the execs for everyday we fly on this current cba, and yet dozens show up each month in Miami to assume the position. It’s just mind boggling.

6 months after you start, you’ll regret it. But hey, don’t take my word for it. Apply. Fog a mirror, and come see for yourself.

Well, then get one of those companies to give me a call. Atlas did, and I came. It's better than eternal reserve at a dying regional. All about perspective, my friend.

I do have my app at JB, SWA, and at Allegiant, if i get a call will consider it. But till then let's see.

But again I have a while..so unless i am st the property, doesn't make a difference. But compared to any regional Atlas is much better bet for sure.

ABX, JetBlue and Spirit all have pilots online saying don't come to those carriers as their job and/or contracts are crap. They are recommending job seekers go elsewhere...

Allegiant's contract is OK. When their contract was just signed, they got a lot of people to apply. Now they are having problems with pilot manning now due to their sub-standard contract (according to the two pilots of the Allegiant plane i JS on recently).

Kalitta now is better than Atlas...most pilots would agree.

Namaste...

Depends on the Regional... If Envoy calls I'd go there in a heartbeat knowing I've got a guaranteed job in 5 years vs hoping that a 767 type gets me an interview that actually lands me a job. I certainly think Atlas is a comparable job to a regional right now if the Regional has an interview hook up with a legacy.

YES I agree completely. Go anywhere else. You can do better than Atlas.
Go to Kalitta, ABEX or ATI if you want big jet time. Go to the regionals if you want money and a future.
