Any Atlas pilots migrating to K4 are short-sighted.
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.
