Original question was FIRST YEAR pay--while ON probation.

So, plan for four months at 1600/mo.

Then 50 hours/mo at first year pay for eight months.

Plus per diem.

That's your first pay, guaranteed. A new hire *might* do better, but that's a guess. The math above is a sure bet.

One more thing: Atlas appears to be in contraction mode. The company is simply NOT expanding the way it has for the last eight years.

Flights are being sub-contracted out and at one point management was heard to say that if they need to contract further to protect Amazon and DHL they will do it.

For many years, Atlas was a 500 pilot outfit. They tried to push it to 2000 in anticipation of Amazon but the operation hit critical mass right around the 1450 mark. It needs to contract in order to be manageable again. That will be done by attrition or furloughs.

Attrition (resignations, retirements, terminations) is working....for now.
