Few questions regarding Atlas. I got invited for an online assessment. Currently I am flying 747 for an Asian carrier making about 90-100k net including everything (perdiem, OT etc.). If anyone can answer some of the questions would be great.
i) Would Atlas be a good airline long term? or is it considered to be a stepping stone to the majors/legacy carriers? My goal is to get to a major/legacy carrier.
ii) Is JFK a base for the 747? If so how junior is it?
iii) What is the schedule like on the 767 compared to the 747?
iv) The first year grantee after OE is 50 hours or 62 hours? APC page isn't clear about that.
v) First year pay seems to be at par with some of the regional airline, how does the second year pay works out for most of the guys?
vi) Does the pilot group being sued by the company affect the contract negotiation? Any chance of getting a contract in the next year or two?
vii) Would you say Kalitta is a better cargo outfit than Atlas? It is subjective but just to get an idea.
