Also curious about the flying out of SEA and LAX bases and seniority to hold both. SEA is all 76, correct? Typical 74 routes at LAX? Thanks 🤙
In short, no. Hiring is rumored by Execs to resume in Q4 2026. However, attrition is slow. Would not expect there to be any hiring this year. Additionally, the first A350F hasn’t been built, on top of that, Atlas has to build their program before receiving one. This place move as the speed of smell, so I wouldn’t bet they’re too far into that either.
SEA is 76 only, expect MMG starting at 103.55, yes you read that correctly. If you value time at home, it’s a great gig with many days of upwards of 20 in some cases. LAX is our most senior 747 and 777 base at the moment. I wouldn’t expect to be able to hold it as a new hire, but things could always shift. Expect Asia as for the flying type.
