Not going to happen for me! Although some are willing to work overtime and that's fine, I already give the company 17 days/month... in addition to the two or three days commuting on days off. In fact, I save my GDOs (Guaranteed Days Off) just ensure any reserve at the end of my schedule can be blocked from involuntary extension. IMHO, quality of life is a major factor that needs to be fixed in this contract... Who cares for a few extra bucks if you can't spend it with the ones you love.

Anyone know how many promising young careers have now been forever blighted by an Atlas training failures just as the legacies are starting their surge of retirements? Not a great career move.

One has to wonder how many training failures there were of people who didn’t really have the experience to be hired anyway. I mean seriously, is this what you want for a candidate to fly a 747?

“Not anticipating much growth this year” - from the last meeting when talking to an LCA this morning.
Friends from other carriers have been changing their tune from simply “It’s Great, Come on Over!” to “Come Over, We Need Good People!” There is definitely climate change of some sort that little “Greta” has not addressed.....
Either way, interesting times my friends, interesting times all over.

That’s the problem. While I enjoy hours of doing nothing except marking up a plotting chart on a published airway, there are times when CPDLC fails. Then what? Had a flight a couple years back, no answer on any of the HFs we were given. Dug up the ARINC page in the Jepps, looked out the window and picked a frequency. San Fran answered immediately and the FO had a priceless look on his face. “How did you do that?”
No, it’s no rocket surgery but when you have a training program that’s more of a differences class for pilots that have experience versus real training in international ops there’ll be problems.
