I'm not saying K4 is a bad place to work, and obviously Atlas isn't a great place to work. Both outfits have great groups of pilots, a hodgepodge of customers, and potential overall growth. Both places also have potential to shrink.

It's nothing for or against either place. Rather, Atlas and K4 are lateral.

It's this: Chasing CBA compensation at the sacrifice of seniority is house-odds in the long run.

Well... I will be one of the sim evaluators that see you on day two. I do not participate in the round one screening. By the time you see me, you are hired unless you display some horrible trait that makes you untrainable. Last round, I had a GA guy with no jet time (King Air PIC, who rocked the sim check), two military guys with a P-3 background, a couple of typed 744 and 777 guys. All made the cut. Don't know tt stats, but they came well prepared for the sim.

Interesting to see that, I'm seriously considering applying to K4 and 5Y at the same time I apply to SKW just to see what happens

I agree. However if you are not planning to stay, why toler,ate working in such a toxic environment. Come to K4 or wherever enjoy a few year,s of seeing the world and move on. It is a pilots market right now. All pilots should be enjoying the benefit of the market as it applies to them.

Well unfortunately I got stuck out on the road this week so I'm unable to make the interviews this week but HR has me all set up for the June 8th date. Looking forward to it.

I have an interview scheduled with KA and was told that there is a written aptitude test as well as a personality test.
Are there any gouges on these tests?
