Hopefully you will have better luck than a friend of mine who was hired by Atlas in early 1998 and got a job offer from US Airways in 1999. He did the only rational thing. And today, after a very rough 12 years, he is jerking gear in a A320.
On the upside his marriage, ver 1.0, survived and he still has his house.
Of course if he had stayed at Atlas, which would have looked really stupid, he would be a senior Captain. But along the way he would have skated on the edge of seeing Chapter 7.
We are all just little mammals on the highway of aviation. Road kill is both a very common and a very random event.
So step up to the table and roll the dice.

I wish Sully would go away. He made a mockery of the regional industry, he made a fortune with book sales, speaking engagements, consulting, and now he's knocking on the cargo world. He retired. I think he should go and enjoy that cash and his wife instead of hanging around like a turd that won't flush.

My understanding may be wrong, but I was told by two people who were fairly close to the process that it was a much closer call than the public face that Erickson put on implied. In any case the need to resort to Fresh-Start Accounting speaks volumes about the situation that the company was in.

Unless there is significant growth or a mass exodus, eight year upgrades are not on the horizon for the junior guys, more like 15+!!!

Well, they need to hire for 5 more 777s with this announcement. And they also operate 3 777Fs...and are already a customer of ours. You've heard the rumors of the new fleet type, right? How do you quickly solve a pilot manning shortfall with the stroke of a pen? What company seems to like CMI agreements? Yeah, maybe you're right. This can't possibly have anything to do with Atlas. Disregard.
