Atlas Air Hiring
#7281
Trust me, we all appreciate you guys at least bringing it the attention it deserves. I hit second year pay next month (wow, it's been a year already?!), and being that I already credit 70-75 hours/month in CRT regularly, the $4/hr pay increase won't mean much.
Some quick pilot maths show a difference of ~$30,000 in earnings over the 2 years seat locked on the 767 at a lower pay rate (based on 75 hours/month).
25 months to go...

Wouldn't count your chickens before they're hatched. Think the only FOs who are averaging 75 a month or more are doing the Afghanistan runs.
Unless you're senior enough to hold IAH which makes the 767 discussion moot.

It's not a matter of counting chickens. I need to credit 74 hours on the 767 in order to equal 62 hour guarantee on the 747. No matter how you slice it, this translates into better compensation...either in the form of cash or more precious time off. 10 more months...

I understand the money involved but going from near the top of FOs in the 76 to the bottom 25% of HSV or CVG in the 747 will leave its mark in its own way.

A lot of guys will get "optimized" down to 15 or so. Usually in the form of the last 3-4 days blowing up and spending a day on r-1 after grabbing a piece of that.

Just had a three day (OK 2.4 days TAFB) LCF trip disappear so it's guarantee for me this month.

OK OSA. I'm the rationalizing idiot. Look forward to having a beer with you in Nairobi next Christmas.

I must say that my previous remark was because you struck a nerve while talking about a pay issue that doesn't impact your fleet. If I was out-of-line, please accept my apology. But you must know: I NEVER called you an idiot...I don't do that. Peace.
