I don't work for SA, but please explain yourself Mr. Smartass. Maybe if you ever held a real job in the real world outside of aviation you might know hard times when you see them. You come across to me like a spoiled brat!

Crazy were arguing about this. Everyone probably has a good reason for what their current career choice is. It speaks volumes to me that there are so many former Legacy pilots who I fly with at Southern and everyone of them has bypassed recall. I have yet to meet one who plans on going back.

In the last 18 months, I know of 2 who went back to American, one who took a recall to United.

Others have left for Virgin America, Jet Blue as well as a carrier in the Middle East.

Don't fool yourself; although the QOL of an ACMI pilot could be exceptional, you would have to work for an exceptional company for that to happen.

Atlas is such a company. This place certainly isn't. The QOL on the 777 is pretty good, granted, but you're going to be sitting right seat for a long time before you get a chance to upgrade.

The 400 flying is basically the same as the 200, with most trips starting off with a 24 hour commute in coach class.

Word on the street is that HR was hit last month with 40+ PRIA requests.

No matter what the career choice 40+ PRIAs is a good sign...maybe some movement in the industry....

Give it a few months and all hell will be breaking loose with the old 65 farts finally retiring, then we will be seeing movement everywhere.

I believe the accepted ICAO standard phraseology is "Gummers."
