Well you won't be happy here and you'll be furlough fodder as we start to shrink and turn down new contracts and break old ones. Have fun.

You sound so much like management. Be nice to the new hire, I'm only asking for help.

Deflection, re-direct, pivot.

This thread suits everybody fine.

With only 17 posts, it's all very suspicious. Where's all the chatter about your discontent at the other airlines you were at?

I bet if we had flow through to Envoy it'd help our recruiting issues...

Problem is years past someone had to really pursue Atlas and it was difficult to get a call and hired; now they need people and a candidate can show up at a job fair(for UAL, AA, DAL, FEDEX, UPS) swing by the Atlas booth, hand them a resume and end up in class having very little invested in the career let alone knowledge of Atlas and its origins.

I wouldn't read 1500 pages... Look at the "quick take" and call it a day.

Best explanation from a pilots perspective is Atlas is like a on demand 135 operation that flies 74's and 76's on a worldwide basis.

Good Luck.

Or if you guys, you know, paid more...

We all know that **** ain't happening...

Haha... no ****. Atlas has become the halfway house you got to before your stepping stone airline.

I heard Atlas has offered new hires an option to take 777 class. They fail to mention that it's @ Southern. Atlas is evidently doing the hiring for both. While Southern's APC profile says not hiring make no mistake about it, if offered 777 class at Atlas you are being offered a job at Southern. As crappy as our pay is their 777 Captain pay scale is almost dollar for dollar our 747 FO scale! Buyer beware.

And if you say yes to a 777 class whose to say they won't change it to a 737 class when you show up.

Are there any Atlas pilots in the Boston area that are willing to talk about job, contract, qol.... ?
