About a week APP to Hogan. Completed the Hogan on a Friday night, got the invite the following Monday.


I got the call to both Delta and United. We will see which one will be lucky enough to have an entertaining troll.

Hmm, interesting, that's kind of what I was expecting. However, I applied to all three and no invite for me yet. Good luck to the rest of you. They are lucky to get you guys, we have a great group!

Atlas is hiring all the time. Just got a huge retirement bump, too. Feel free to message if anyone wants details.

Sweet bro! I appreciate it but I’m deciding on my CJO’s between Mesa and AmeriFlight.

Pay and retirement continues to improve, good QOL, no jumpseating, and Amazon has proven to be recession/covid proof. 3rd largest cargo carrier in the US and the largest one that's not trying to get rid of pilots. But good luck. If you aren't interested just move on, no need to act like a typical petulant pilot that never grew beyond a 5th grade maturity level.

Haha, don't mind him. Atlas is a good place to be, thanks for the insight

Yeah, don’t mind him, dude ate too many lead paint chips as a kid.

We appreciate the info. Always nice to hear about other options out there besides the big 4.

I am a NB pilot making more than a top paying 747 captain.

Covid proof? You mean like being quarantined in a hotel room in Hong Kong?


better retirement? According to APC, you guys are still doing a 401(k) match.


and let’s not pretend like something can’t happen to Atlas. Any business has its risks.

sorry you didn’t like my answer. Now beat it before I throw my paint chips at you.

IDGAS about your answer or opinion. Troll, yes. Entertaining, not so much. And yes, APC must have better info than a current Atlas pilot about retirement and pay, how silly of me. Being quarantined has nothing to do with business models or economics. Maintaining a paycheck while quarantined does, and Atlas came out pretty good. Try sticking with an argument that's actually logical... or at least coherent. Guess the paint chips had an effect.

As far as being stuck in Hong Kong, sure it sucks. It sucked being stuck in Iraq for 5 months during COVID with the DoD, but maintaining CRT still beats being furloughed and my family didn't have to worry about paying bills.
I'm not inviting you to leave where you are to come to Atlas. I doubt many of us would want to fly with your attitude. Stay on your light twin and enjoy your paycheck. I was talking to those that feel the need to look for something different than where they are now. It's not perfect, but Atlas treats us pretty well.
