New vacancy is out...
The pilot group shrunk by 5 to 1017 pilots.
4 people were hired so 9 left or retired.
767 Seat locks were released and most of the unlocked FOs bid over to the 747. Their training dates are in April and May.
30 upgrades were awarded. 22 to the 747 and 8 to the 767.
The junior captain is now a 5-17-2010 hire on the 767.
60 new hire spots are available. 36 on the 767 and 24 on the 747.
The next seat locks expire in March and April. Hopefully the company will do the right thing and pay the unlocked 767 guys 747 pay if they fill the new hire spots with new hires prior to training the 767 guys. Part of me suspects the new hire spots are there because the company wants to fill them with new hires prior to the next round of expiring seat locks.
Enjoy...

IF you want to be a globetrotter and you are sure you want nothing else i'd say come here. As always you'll know if you made the right choice when you retire, Good luck!

Upgrade at the regional. Why? Because this is Atlas. Just flew with a new hire F/O who was a super senior Captain at a regional making 6 figures and he is already regretting leaving the regional.
