Termination of employment
#21
Not without warning, but you might get a rep that would stop you - or at least severely slow you down - from getting a job with your NEXT employer.

I do think we've had 2-4 fired over the past several months. Not two per day. If you give it some thought you might even be able to figure it out.
The only other thing I can think of is trying to sit reserve while well over two hours away from your domicile. Then getting a call out and not making it in.
SkyWest use to have a reputation for firing more than all other airlines combined 10-15 years or so ago. A lot has changed since then, and that hasn't been the case recently.

When you’re on the street with a family depending on you, that 16 day stretch looks really sweet. I wouldn’t trade a legacy job for life at Atlas, but I’d take life at Atlas over any regional. That’s just me though. I really like long haul, and really hate up and down several times a day followed by short layovers in airport hotels. Flying for Atlas isn’t what flying for UPS is, but is not a bad life.

Then by all means, go be a Walmart and max out your pay first year. First year Atlas sucks, but after that, it isn’t a bad gig. You will take home more than at a regional, one commute a month (usually positive space to where ever the plane is), And heavy time looks good when applying for better paying jobs. UPS and FedEx really like heavy freight pilots since they already understand what flying freight is like, and they already have tons of international experience.
