I've been hearing lots of Southern Air and Kalitta Air pilots applying and getting hired here at Atlas...can anyone confirm that?

Blue, do yourself a favor and throw your resume in the ring. I meet the new hires at the Training Center, and you are not too far off from a bunch of them. Most guys are RJ pilots, some have never been in the left seat.

BYOB, Your decision is very simple.
Your wife MUST be self sufficient and look forward to your long stretches of time at home. If she focuses on the 17 day stretch of you being away it will never work. Do not BS her.
The interline travel is a non-issue with your milage that you will acquire.
Also, where you live and which airframe you are on will make huge difference. Being a DINK makes it much easier.

I have, most of the application had "yes" checked (the good yes not the bad yes)
I am hopeful, but at the same time I just feel like I don have a dog in the fight to get a call.
More curious on the gateway thing and schedules if anyone can PM me an example/screen shots that'd be so awesome. Not so much concerned about them just curious.

TKS, blue skies

I've heard the same. I know several guys who've made the jump and never regretted making the switch. Rumor around CVG is that Southern is on the edge of bankruptcy - again.

How long does Purchase want us to be a "Career Builder" instead of a respected company? Their offer next month will be very telling....

What makes you think there will be an offer? Smoke and mirrors. Dec is only a date in which we or the company can send a letter advising that we want to open section 6. Unless the company wants a new CBA, it will be at least 5 years before you see a TA.

Many from both have been coming here for years. In the last 14 months, I can only speak for the K4 side we have had 6. Rumor is 24 plus pilots from K4 have applied in the last month, things are getting bad over there.
