So what was the first law suit the company filed against us about? Forcing us into another MERGED contract instead of Section 6 where we can vote it down. This time it'd be MERGING Atlas's contract with a Bankruptcy Southern contract.

I was already typed and had flown the -400 when I went thru that training. My wind shear training was five unrecoverable events (the "instructor" mentioned after the first that he would only give me those). My sim partner, a great guy former E4, got one recoverable event. I guess the "instructor," a little guy with glasses who flew a C17, was true to his word. He really disliked taxpayers. I got thru fine. Both my partner and I couldn't believe the poor quality of the training.
So you really are on your own to pass. Study in groups, that is what got most of my class thru.
But that was five years ago.

I really liked the idea of flying for Atlas, but after reading the last couple of pages, I am doubtful. I already have a CJO.
So all in all, coming to Atlas for many is to get to fly the 747? Or the lifestyle? Regional Captain make similar pay as 747 FO it seems!
I fly 747 now and get 10 days off in a row in a month and make 100K net a year (after taxes), will make 112K after a year. Schedule isn't too bad and get free first class commute anywhere on the airline. Maybe will get to fly the 787 or 777 or ATR captain with same pay in two years time. But the airline(line pilots) is so picky, that it sucks the fun out of flying. The only reason I am thinking of a change.
Should I stay away from Atlas? And look elsewhere? Any suggestions. I am thinking of moving back and live in Tampa and maybe get MIA later down the road. Chances of upgrade within 2-3 years (hypothetically)??

It makes no sense to come here. Atlas will not be a worthy destination until there is a decent contract and the soonest that will happen is still years away... if ever.
