Also, I heard there's no seniority list at WGA.. So I guess that could really go good or bad for someone... Why wouldn't they have a seniority list?? Did Southern start off with no seniority list too??

Not hiring into the 777 for the foreseeable future at 9S. Of course Florence can't foresee much past later on this afternoon, but still. Also if you're looking for a gig in Asia the 747 type and time is currently just as good as the 777 type and time.
A number of guys at 9S have gone on to WGA. Nobody has left WGA for 9S. Atlas has hired from both K4 and 9S. So as far as ACMI its pretty clear Atlas is on top, and 9S is on the bottom, but I'm not sure how I'd rank K4 vs WGA. Established scumbag vs startup scumbag: pick your poison.

Also a certain company with purple tails has a trend of hiring folks with time in type and since they don't fly 747s...

I don't think he meant Atlas is a scumbag outfit. They are kinda unique...they are ACMI which is its own world so not FedEx or UPS but leaps and bounds above any other in the category.

They don't want you to fail but they are not going to spoon feed you and hold your hand through the process. It is AQP based. But for what it's worth the training is some of the best and you will have to learn more than you will probably ever use.

A lot has changed in the school house. Yes there was a high washout rate a while back. That is not to say some still don't washout but that is mainly because 1. Think they knew it all. 2. Didn't know enough and didn't study 3. Combination of 1 & 2 with added "That's not how we did it at brand X".

Also, does Southern throw you in a sim? What about WGA and their interview?
