I spoke with someone rather high up in management last night who said the company's plan is to eventually operate more 767's than we have 747's on property right now. 50, I believe, was the number floated.
That tracks with info I heard from a different management type a couple months ago regarding the aggressive growth plans for the 767 fleet here.
For those looking to get on with Atlas, the management type (who is involved with hiring) said the next big batch of interviews will be in late March. Atlas will also be attending WIA earlier in March. Still no insight into the hiring process, other than HR seems to be adjusting their "pre-screening" process such that the hiring rate for face to face interviewees will be high (something around 80% of interviewees were offered employment in the January interviews). Based on the conversation last night, getting face time with Atlas hiring reps at job fairs like WIA is one of the best things you can do to increase your chances of getting called for a face to face interview in Miami/Purchase.
Hope this helps any new guys/prospective new guys.

Interesting that mere days after management says they intend to pursue an amalgamated contract, this would be put out there. Sounds more like pay no attention to where the contract is headed, we're going to get gobs of jets, WE PROMISE!

I'm confused by your logic. You say "can't bust what ain't here", indicating there is no Union(or unity), but many of your other posts are essentially telling people to support the Union.
What exactly is your stance? If you're one of those "the Union is useless so I'll just b**ch up a storm" guys, I'll just ignore you. If you're trying to support your fellow pilots and your Union, I'll listen to what you have to say(albeit, with a grain of salt on an anonymous internet message board).
Based on your past posts, you seem to walk the fence. I hope I'm reading that incorrectly.

Walk the fence, hardly very pro union I would love a EU union capability to wild cat. I am stuck with neocons and the Koch brothers.

You work for Atlas but post on UPS threads? Really? You post all over APC and give really crappy advice. I hope you don't work for anyone you claim to work for.

I meant legally when the seniority list is merged and everyone is under one contract? Trust me, I know bitterness and anger last a lifetime. At my previous regional few years back 3 years had passed since the SLI and guys were still bent of out shape over it!

If this is in reference to Ford and Harrison, everybody involved or potentially involved in Atlas contract negotiations or Atlas/Southern merger needs to do their research and be very familiar with these scumbags. F&H is strictly a union busting law firm. They have their successes and failures. Let's put this one in the failure column for them.
Their tactics are pretty standard throughout their history. I have dealt with them in the past, and they are good at what they do...Union busting and propaganda.

This is how employee loyalty is won!
Delta Air Lines announced on Friday that its 80,000 employees will receive $1.5 billion in profit-sharing.
According to the airline, this is the largest amount ever paid out in the history of profit-sharing programs.
For Delta's employees, individuals will receive the equivalent of 21% of their annual compensation.
"We are often asked what makes Delta different,” Delta CEO Richard Anderson and President Ed Bastian said in a memo to employees.
"The difference is you. Our unique people-focused culture is the advantage that none of our competitors can match."

[QUOTE=ultradrvr;2067371]for you guys driving in...leave your 2016 cameros and chargers with the expensive wheels and hi fi...(do they still call it that) at home. Past classes have had wheels stolen and actually had a vehicle stolen.
In one case a few years back Atlas leaned on the Hotel to cover the cost but that was a one off deal[/QUOTE
I drive a bone stock 2005 F-150. I would love for someone to steal it! I stayed at the same hotel for training a while back and did see someone get their tailgate stolen too.

Absolutely, our old crew hotel was in a compound. I saw two expensive vehicles on blocks with their tires missing. Credit fraud is rampant in MIA.

Our current "profit sharing" of Atlas profit is a bogus sham. The company can easily manipulate it to fit their needs. They can't manipulate AAWH profit sharing (except to buy back stock...and we could prevent this problem by using some of our profit to buy shares).
