To the best of my knowledge this is not true.

Do you get to pick the airline? What about earn status with the airline?

Atlas will go with whatever is cheaper. You can suggest flights. I’ve been able to get a preferred flight by pointing out my status on one airline would save the checked bag fee on another. Atlas has deals with a few airlines and tends to use them. Their rates sometimes reduce the mileage credit. I think Spirit is not used because while the base fare is normally cheaper, the nickel and dime add on fees make it more expensive.

Was told last week that in mid-July they would be setting the training schedule for the Aug/Sep/Oct time period. I was told that at that time they would be placing the ones of us that are in the pool in a class.

It would be appropriate. This EXCO is not known for doing that. Watch what they do (especially behind the scenes) vs what they say. I regularly said that on company actions vs statements but it looks like our EXCO has learned from them and our felon in charge. Some do union work to help the membership and some do it as a payday. LM-2's since this EXCO started confirm the latter.

Default 777 cbt

For those recently hired- how far out did they provide the CBTs for the 777. Getting closer to the training date and have yet to see death by PowerPoint.

From reading these forums it also looks like there’s 747 videos but I haven’t found any 777 ones. Anyone know if they exist?

Thanks!

Welcome to the past. This was par for the course 6+ years ago. If you wanted a quick class date you should of applied when cargo wasn’t cool.
