Also chances are many of you live in Florida. Atlas has three fleets with a Florida base.

If you dont' live in Florida Atlas also gateways you so that you can forget about starting at the bottom with crashpads and jumpseating.

Finally - maybe (just maybe) some of you are tired of flying a narrowbody and wonder what flying a big boy would be like.

Once you finished IOE is when you should've applied and left long ago. Right now it's too late and it's more competitive.

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.
