It's sadly funny how this guy is trying to take you on... You're not even close to 30 and you've got 3 type ratings, plenty of TPIC, and int'l widebody experience... And this kid in his mom's basement is looking down his nose at you? Hilarious.

On a brighter note, how's the 76 treating you? Lemme know when you're next in town. Beers on me!

Not trying to take him on. I respect everyone's opinion. But Atlas doesn't count and is a negative. Only the desperate and folks without degrees go there. So it's one less competitor at the majors for me.

Considering that amazon just bought 20% stake in atlas and are leasing a large number of aircraft from them (25 i think), I would say things are well on the up at Atlas.

Management doesn't like their pilots at atlas. Amazon buying a stake in them as well as having the options to buy a stake in ATSG will probably lead to a form of whipsaw amongst the ACI carriers. I'm taking them of my list.

You have 80 reserves for 90 lines. Every single person could call in sick daily and still have unused reserves...

Yeah. Just saw that there are only 107 lines for next month. Which it's dropped more and more over the last 2 months. So much for the "busy summer"

Wanna fly? C'mon over to the CRJ where we have zero, yes zero, reserve lines.

It's like Oprah. Everyone gets a line!

Theres an idea. However, a roomate of mine tried doing just that and was told that he couldn't. Not sure why though because i know they are "short staffed" on that side. Or at least they say they are..
