No rant required

Dumbdumb, I was going to respond, but Firststep beat me to it, thanks again F.S. for being the professional that you are. We (At Atlas) have recalled all of the furloughed pilots, and have just hired 120 new pilots as well. Now that I see you are one our Polar brothers I understand a little better the frustration shown in your post. If you guy's had gotten on the bandwagon from day one, instead of letting Bob and Robin take you down the crimson path, it just maybe would have turned out differently for your pilot group. But that is all water under the bridge at this point. We have had a two-list system from day one here. It has been voted on twice to change it to a single list and was not. (By the way I voted for it and was hired here as an FO and would have lost about 20 numbers) The FE's that hired on here were completely aware of this when they signed their employment contract. The comment I made about getting a job elsewhere was supposed to be a bit of sarcasm.
