4 FULL months of $1600 before taxes. OE is still so backed up that one must plan on another two + months at 50 hours sitting at home. 6 more months of scheduling messing with your schedule (yes, many times they will change your schedule and you will literally LOSE money, which is fully legal in the CBA). I can see a first year guy getting around 40k. FYI, I didn't break 100k until year 4.

Don't forget, the company is trying really hard to get an amalgamated contract with Southern so the first year pay will decrease even further with a worse quality of life tagged on to it. Better compensation packages are being offered at the regional level. With Bezos/Amazon about to buy a good chunk of AAWW, one can imagine how long before the horror stories of hot warehouses, refused paychecks, horrible working schedules and "shut up and color" management attitudes creep there way over into the airline side of the house. If you think it's bad now, go look up stories about working for Amazon. We are just seeing the tip of the iceberg of crap coming our way. I'm willing to bet Amazon lobbyist have bigger checkbooks than Teamsters lobbyist to keep things moving.

Guys and gals have now hit the 5 month mark waiting on OE... Three months of training, 5 months of OE on very little pay.
I don't know who can go 8 months without a proper check. Many new hires had high hopes. Now I see them leaving before they even do one day of OE.
It's all too bad...

1464 pages of information, and new hires are complaining about all the BS we have already documented. I did four months of training pay until put on the CBA mandated first year pay. And that was 6 years ago. If you want to make real money, go into another business, like financial services or pharmaceuticals or garbage man or something.

If Atlas was not the largest operator of 747 freighters in the world then we would not be having this discussion. Atlas would be just another Miami freight airline that nobody would notice.
