Me thinks you would have to be pretty senior to bid lines that don't start and stop in base of record to live overseas, correct?

True. In fact, it matters little what the bidline is other than the footprint itself. It's just a fact of life that any given bidline will most likely change before you actually step out the front door. Other than DHL flying that is. Bottom line: Don't decide to fly here or not to fly here on the ability to live overseas. If you like the kind of flying we do then by all means come and join us! If not, then it would be better not to. Those of you who have been following this thread for some time know the mantra well that: "Change is constant". It's a mistake to plan your future enjoyment here on anything else other than liking the adventure of walking out your door not knowing precisely where on the planet you will end up. Some folks do indeed live overseas but for the most part it's on them to get to a gateway city in the U.S. for their assigned pairing. Planning on anything above that is not a good idea.

So haven't visited this forum for a little, starting to be more than a couple cups of coffee to get through it all! Quick question to pose to you all, honestly not trying to stir the pot. How likely is it that Atlas would get higher monthly guarantee and pay? And more contribution to the 401K? Just curious!what the common thought is. Thanks!

Lets just say it can't get any worse! With the current union/new hires taking the reigns of this place, hiring environment along with profitable business model, very likely IMO!

Do I sense some optimism??? Its about time

Whale Driver

No, not optimism.

The top 2-300 are virtually out the control of the Union now by being out numbered by original Polar + 5yr and below prior airline, civilian pilots.

****ed off pilot group majority that's just not taking the BS anymore.

There are various methods for the guys that live abroad to get to work. If you talk to those guys they are very creative and usually get the tickets to and from work.

Thanks all, the Atlas model is a very good one, and appealing. Cheers to improving the picture!

I heard today from someone in management that the online pre-employment testing will be going away very soon. That's all I know.

Has anyone got a call out of going to WAI?
