It might sound like a joke to some, but hitting up the Ale House just about every day is what helped me and a lot of my classmates make it through. Perfect mixture of stress relief, with a lot of questioning / quizzing each other mixed in. We had one guy who couldn't understand the hydraulic system on the 767 until we had a few drinks and made a diagram on the table out of forks and knives.

5th year 767 Captain pay is something like $60 an hour more at Connie than Atlas working less days. While their QOL stuff looks bad, ours is pretty much worthless, so hard to overlook the huge pay gap. Guess their management saw the need to be competitive finally in today's pilot environment.

I've been reading the forum quite a bit and had a couple questions I was hoping someone could answer.
First, I saw something a several pages back about not being able to fill all the class spots. Can anyone elaborate on this?
Secondly, I was curious how quickly a new hire could hold IAH?
Thanks!

Not sure about the class info.
IAH is our most senior base. Junior pilot has been here about 20 months and it quickly gets very senior as you go up the list so you'd sit near the bottom for a long time. If you're hired on the 76 you'd have a 3 year seat lock before you could bid IAH.

Read more than several pages - the issues here should be no secret. Get familiar so you don't blindly accept the Kool Aid served during the interview. Compare our pay to K4, Allegiant and the proposed pay at Omni. There's a reason we can't fill class slots, but it's better for you to arrive at that conclusion yourself.

Just a note of correction: Kalitta's new rates as a topped out 767 Captain are now $71 per hour HIGHER than Atlas. By the DOS+3 for Kalitta, a Kalitta 767 Captain will make $110/hr more. Wow. Atlas is digging its own grave if it doesn't rectify this quickly. 2017 will yield massive pilot losses for Atlas. Hiring 4-500, and will be lucky to grow our list from it's current number. Truth.
