Atlas Air Hiring
I was in AC's office the other day (totally great character btw! Has a laugh and smile that lights up the room). She told me that we had 85 people as of yesterday out of 100 to interview for the next session. She also told me the resume pool is VERY deep so be patient!

I'm curious about domicile specific rotations... do they vary much from LAX to ANC to PAE... what about the size of the domiciles, do they vary a lot? Are they hiring into all domiciles, maybe a recent vacancy notice would be better if you can copy and paste one? Thanks.
Don't think Boeing is in a hurry to replace the LCF contract...it's worked out pretty well so far

Actually, I heard it's the other way around. Atlas wants to end it since it often causes guys to sit around not being used efficiently due to Boeing's delays. It's supposed to help with attrition supposedly.

#1: Nope
#2: Who knows? Could be next week. Could be next decade. Could be never. Atlas has a history of playing their cards close to the vest until things actually happen. In the world of business that's not a bad thing. Just like with the schedule, the only certain thing over time here is change.

The recent seniority list has 1142 pilots as of 8/15. In addition, there were 48 ANC 747 NH and 36 CVG 767 NH slots listed. The company does not post vacancy notices. You simply supply them with your preferences and if a vacancy opens for your seniority, you will be awarded the position.
The sizes of the domiciles are listed below with the most junior FO hire date for each one:
ANC 747
CA - 96
FO - 171 (8/15)
CVG 747
CA - 52
FO - 85 (4/15)
CVG 767
CA - 104
FO - 78 (8/15)
HSV 747
CA - 53
FO - 68 (4/15)
IAH 747
CA - 23
FO - 33 (4/14)
JFK 747
CA - 79
FO - 53 (4/13)
JFK 767
CA - 35
FO - 23 (9/14)
LAX 747
CA - 35
FO - 27 (2/15)
MIA 747
CA - 50
FO - 47 (5/14)
PAE 747
CA - 18
FO - 12 (1/15)
Of course, if you have been paying attention to this thread, you'll know that your base has very little to do with where you will be flying...

Give away lucrative business to "help with attrition"? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard; oh, wait... Pilotyip had that idea a while back. I'll say it again, don't you think it would be slightly more logical to control the attrition and GROW our pilot group by demanding an INDUSTRY LEADING CONTRACT so that we can keep all our business and add to it as we please?

Brace yourself for an ugly truth, because MAG's Orenstein said it best in an interview in the 90's concerning his company's poor pay and working conditions and the ability to attract pilots when there's lots of hiring going on elsewhere. It went something like this;
"As long as we have tons of people applying and showing up for class, I'm paying too much........"
