Underpaid,
Under respected,
Under Biden.

I would say you have things pretty well figured out. Don't forget how much your wife's boyfriend enjoys you being gone for 17 days in a row.

I think your first mistake was coming over here to our page, thinking pilots would want to downgrade to Atlas. I mean you did mean well though.

OK well I don’t commute, don’t have to jumpseat, I don’t have a crash pad either.

But does your aircraft have four engines? That's the only thing that matters.

I think atlas would be a great company for one of our junior pilots living in south Florida and commuting to Las Vegas indefinitely since we don’t have vacancy bids anymore…

Please don't let Halons posts be a reflection of our pilot group! He is the village idiot here! What's really sad is that he thinks he's a "somebody" within our group! Even worse, people keep calling him out on his ridiculous ramblings yet he never gets the message........and he calls others "pathetic"!!! Thanks for your offer to help. Like someone else said, for some Atlas might be a good fit. We all have our reasons for where we want to be. I'm sure a lot of people wonder why I've stayed at Spirit so long......but it works for me! On a side note.....you did lower yourself to his level with the light twin comment!!!

Hello - I dont fly for Spirit but I emphasize with your situation. I have friends who do fly at Spirit and I wonder if you've considered flying freight?

Atlas Air (for whom I fly for) and I'm sure others are also hiring. I can only speak for what I know about Atlas and that the company does have plans for expansion...just...needs....pilots! lol

I know this is recruiter language but I'm not making a buck off of you coming over or not. It's just to at least have something to also consider besides the majors.

please tell us, why would a Spirit pilot looking to get out go to Atlas as opposed to United, American, or Delta? Beside that they get the opportunity to help Atlas with its pilot hiring problems?

A significant number of the folks on the chopping block spent 6 months or less at a regional (or even came straight from a 172) and have been blocking 10-15 hours a month on reserve. Many likely aren't competitive for a legacy job.
