This coming Wednesday, unless you were going to be placed into the few remaining slots in the 5/15 class..of which you'd have heard already.

Again, this is only what I'm pretty sure I overheard. So definitely don't take it as solid info.

 

I did mine with Denise for Hr and Chuck for technical. I came out feeling really good about both the HR and the Technical....so hopefully I get the thumbs up. Good luck to us all, everyone at the interview seemed like good guys/gals.

 

Let's clarify:
Industry Leading Pay, Terms and Conditions,
PLUS AAWH Profit Sharing...

 

Agreed!! Thats how it came accross to me. Basically admitting they are not where they should be and its going to take time. Take it or leave it.

Cant fault their honesty there and if a pilot joins has basically forfeited his right to complain as he was well aware.

 

Has anybody from the above mentioned dates heard back from Atlas? Anybody get a thumbs up or TBNT email?

 

Well they must have recently changed their tune. It wasn't too long ago that I was flying with new hires who were told during the interview that they would make 90K first year.

 

That honesty is a new concept for them. A month ago you'd make 90k your first year and a new cba would be signed by October. Looks like they've got enough applicants now where they aren't forced to con all their applicants.

 

It looks like we're on the same wavelength Whip.

 

How long after taking the online assessment do they get in touch usually?

 

Im not doubting you guys at all and am on your side. I completely agree Atlas needs to get their act together and get you guys a new CBA.

I just think they have realised it now and made it pretty clear. They did say it is coming but did not make any promises about 90k first year or that the new agreement would be in place within 6 months.

You have to understand though that a guy on $40 an hour flying 90 hours a month at a regional who is fed up and broken due to the hectic schedules and up and down like a yoyo sees this as an escape and improvement...

They do realise their are massive problems but it beats the hell out of being flogged to death every month for min pay and no job satisfction.

Remember 90 hours a month for a regional guy is 90 hours of actual flying, not sleeping in bunks with 24 to 48 hour layovers but 13 hour layovers and not going anywhere or seeing anything interesting at all.

Before you bite my head off Im not saying long haul is easy or Atlas guys dont work hard or deserve an industry standard contract, they do but for a regional guy this is a step up especially as they know a new CBA will come sooner or later.
