Mostly training. And it's not oppressive on the 747 side - our bust rates are typical - it's just archaic and unnecessary. Training is trying to turn the ship but with the CBA fight going on, they won't get far. The move toward AQP stalled a couple of years ago, but we are moving to a LOFT scenario for the non-jeopardy check rides. (AQP lite?) So, progress, albeit glacial.

Out on line, the 767 has been a very open culture since day 1, both by design and necessity. The Fleet Manager specifically created a culture opposite to that of the 747-400 (and more like the 747-200 culture, i'm told). Plus, all the 767 captains were new to the jet and had to rely on the early FOs, many of whom were previously 767 CAs somewhere else. That broke down the walls pretty quickly.

I was only on the 747 briefly, but my enjoyment of any given trip more often than not was dependent on the CA's age. Younger guys were fine. Some old guys were fantastic. But some... Well, they had some interesting techniques and interesting ideas about CRM, or a lack thereof. Their numbers get smaller every year, though. Crazy growth solves a lot of those problems, and now the more prevalent concern will be dropping experience levels in both seats, on both fleets, but it's more pronounced on the 767.

Went through that at the regionals. It can be done if Training adapts and the pilot group buys in. We'll see how that all shakes out.

 

For travel to training in Miami, do I pay for checked luggage? Or is there a provision of some sort for that?

 

Atlas pays for checked luggage, but since you don't have a company card yet, i'd try managing the reservation online before you go or calling the airline to make sure they have a card on file. Or call Travel.

I was trying to take the online assessment, but there was some issue with the flash player on the browser. It asked me to reinstall flash and try again. But after I closed the browser and logged in again I am unable to take the test. I did email the HR. Are they good about resetting it? Or that was my only chance.

The first attempt says incomplete with a total time of 22 seconds.

 

They're good about resetting. However a phone call to them might yield better results than e-mail.

 

Hi all,

I'll be applying at Atlas soon, and hoped I could get some gouge from people taking it. Thanks in advance!

PS. I get what's going on, so no need to post or PM me any negative information. I get it.

 

As many others have said, (very recently) all that you need to know is in these 1600+/- pages, it's still accurate. Happy hunting and good luck.

 

Could anyone tell me if there are any training bonds required if hired?

 

Nope! Leave as soon as you get the type for free. 100+ others have this year. SOC with Southern delayed now. Fill in your own rumors why.
