I agree though, either Atlas or Kalitta are good outfits to join up with..
Supply and demand... I personally like going to places that have a large demand with no one showing up to interview. No fun when it's the other way.
I can't speak for Atlas or Global, but I am enjoying my time at K4, the financial freedom and top notch healthcare for my family. I get nightmares of going back to a regional, or flying passengers.

Every time I see posts like this I get more anxious waiting for a call from K4.

What a silly post. Your copy/paste of wikipedia is almost worthless. WGA doesn't 'hub' in SRQ. They used to have corporate HQ there. I understand HQ has moved at least twice in the last year. So not a good indication of stability. They park spares at RSW. If they have a hub at all it is LGG. Looks like they have a couple planes doing AMC charters. And a couple doing HKG-ICN-US trips. Nothing scheduled out of MIA or to South America at the moment, but they have done that stuff in the recent past.

None of their 747s are scheduled to fly for the next 3 weeks.

Silly maybe, but you would have to agree with the underlying premise that atpcliff is a dolt of epic proportions.

But their paint scheme is breathtaking.
