ATI hiring update as of Mar. '17
Spoke to a HR specialist two days ago:
Hiring 12 every three weeks indefinitely. This is a change from a goal of approximately 72 for the year 2017 that was announced beginning of the year.
Interviewing 6-8 a week to keep the pool filled.
Approximately 1000 apps on file, and will periodically open the
online window to keep the pile fresh.
Six more 767-300's tails this year. (This seems rather ambitious to me). All will be in Amazon paint and one will be a ATI spare (395CM). Another -300 might come before the end of year, but not definite. A 767-200 will also come out of heavy MX. This will be flown in the Amazon network and replace a -200 currently in the AZ network making it another spare tail. Even though this is an even swap and not an additional tail, I mention it because up until now ATI has been operating without a single spare aircraft and it has hurt us by having to contract replacement lift when we break.
I hope this helps,
FAJ
