Nobody is going to the street. We still need to staff those 10 airplanes your bringing. We couldn't spearhead this from the ground up if we tried right now. Part of the value of this transaction is that those 250 pilots are already trained and in place. Your jobs should be considered secure in my opinion. Now, how the group is integrated, etc will all have to be sorted. Bringing those already pre-signed narrow body rates you have over is certainly not going to help though. Yikes.

I took that same test 5 months ago... and no call for an interview in all that time... I'm alluding to the fact that no matter what I do I'm more and more certain I will never see life at Atlas. It's too bad because they basically have the lifestyle I've been chasing for years, while also having stability and a good reputation.
