Lol.... They really need to update this site and say that there is no profit sharing at Atlas. My first year I got nothing. My 2nd year I got nothing. My 3rd year I got $400, I got $300 in a "Special Distribution" my 4rth year, and I got $600 last year. It certainly won't get you to that phantom "$90K" that HR is telling you you'll make first year. $1300 in 5 years is probably less than what Delta accumulates in 6 months in the right seat of a MD-88 on probation...
Our contract is so horrible that our "Profit Sharing" (or "Special Distribution") is really a shell game where management claims they aren't making money when they are. The money that should've been shared is reinvested in the company and we see none of it.
Does anyone know what they are telling the interviewees about "Profit Sharing" and "Special Distributions" at Atlas?
