Obviously nothing could have been said by anyone from Atlas during the interviews yesterday (if those folks even knew it was coming.) But could anyone interviewing the rest of this week let us know what they say about ongoing hiring in light of this announcement, please.

FWIW, there were roughly 35 of us there yesterday.

Southern air had committed to 27? 28? 737 for DHL domestic hub flying. Last I heard they had only managed to crew about 5, because the T&C for the CVG based 737 were so terrible.

What is the current 737 situation exactly???

I'm trying to wrap my head around what this could/would mean for those of us in the pool waiting on a class date at Atlas.

ANY input would be most welcome. I'm giving up great seniority and job security at my regional to make this move to Atlas. I'd hate to jeopardize what I've got.

Atlas needs guys on their seniority list now to fly their airplanes. Southern, right now, is nothing more than a path to more business ventures for Atlas down the road. Too early to tell, but I'd say business/hiring will continue as planned at Atlas.

I think it's more about getting a 777 program.

Guys in the pool don't sweat it an ounce. This is only going to increase the need at Atlas. Two new aircraft veins to fill. Think Atlas will just stick with 4 777's? No way. 737's: only a few actually on order, the rest are old 73-4's with the DHL door mods. But, still need butts in the seats, with a lot more coming. That said, I fear the Southern Contract is going to be a huge anchor around our feet heading into negotiations. Had no idea the rates were that bad there. If we obtain our targeted gains at Atlas, this will be near 50% raises for the Southern boys. Good for them!
