I know you're no rookie. Just letting you know how it is here if you're a family guy. The reality is that upgrades at some majors ARE less than Atlas. Delta and Fedex specifically. You do what's right for you and jump in with supporting the good team if you come to Atlas!

35% DH pay and credit? No wonder the company would just rather ship you around the world cattle class instead of having you fly your lines.

It's not like you'll break CRT anyway. We are all just salaried labor at a ratio of 4.85 per day.......... "Oh you just flew a 15 hour leg from cvg to inc? Here's 4.85."

Right... But you also get 4.85 for sitting on the beach each day in Sydney.

Good with the bad... Yes we have much to fix on our contract- and if we don't, no one will be in line to fly our planes. Especially when allegiant pays more to fly an RJ- I mean an MD-80

It should the greater of rig and credit per day. Not per month.

Recently there seem to be many more CVG - ICN legs than beach days in SYD ...

Candlerkid, thanks, yes I will support the good team. The problem with both Delta and Fedex is that I don't know anybody there, let alone guys I have flown with. I am not Navy, or Air Force, or a commuter airline that had contact with Delta. An outfit where I flew 727's went t/u and guys went to... Atlas (no major was hiring anyway). Another where I flew big jets the same, it was Atlas or overseas. Previous airline guys are bailing to.... Atlas, or overseas. Yes, a couple went to fly light twins and except for one they are not happy. And most of these guys, like me, have a reason why Delta, United, Fedex are not picking them up: they are one out of 10.000 applicants but have nobody on the inside, someone who can act as reference, or someone who can knock on a chief pilots door.
If Delta would call me 2 things will happen: I will fall of the chair, and after I have recovered I will hang out the flag. (in other words, I am not holding my breath on that one).
