Its not just Atlas,,,, K4 is 1/4 the number of pilots.. and we have lost about 12 due to attrition or retirement in the first 6 months of the year.... for the first time in nearly 2 years the company is actually talking about hiring......i think companies like this LIKE the turnover... means a certain percentage of the pilot group is on 1st or 2nd year pay...

Good job Poak. I'm third year pay at Atlas and still make less than I did at a Regional and have less days off. Had another FO on the 74 tell me it wasn't till his fourth year at Atlas that he made more than the regional he left.

I didn't realize how much some positions at some regionals paid. My 1st year here I made about twice what I did at the regional I was at. My second year here I made more than the -121 supplemental I was at, and i made the most I have ever made at multiple jobs in 4 different careers.

Cliff, some regionals have captain scales that top $100 an hour. The real way they make $$ is with soft credits. They might work hard and fly 90 hours, but they'll credit like 115 for that. That's a lot more than our 62 hour guarantee on 767 FO pay for our junior guys. If they're on the 74 the should do better pretty quick though.
