Woops thought you were Atlas.

There is no minimum. Some pilots leave during initial groundschool. As alluring as you might think it would be to work for one of the lowest paying ACMI carriers out there, it seems that most new hires leave at the first opportunity.

Which is understandable.

There’s a 7 year, or 4000 hour minimum. This is an unspoken agreement between the carriers. Thankfully, you’re guaranteed a job with FedEx, UPS or Delta after your tenure with Atlas/Omni. Atlas just bought Omni and ATI. You’re owed stuff after all.

The people that get fired in groundschool or sims, typically get hired as DEC with Qatar or Emirates.

Is there any news of improvement at Atlas? I’d like to think there is a a better contract in the works with more pay, better work rules and QOL.
