There’s rumbling and rumors floating around that some of the new improvements announced last month are not going to be. Anyone hearing anything else?

I know of a lot of Australians who are doing their FAA license and applying to Atlas, can anyone confirm if British passports are allowed? I can’t find any concrete info on this.

Cheers!

Trips either get assigned or awarded via the open time system. This has to do with whether a trip gets assigned to a particular, convenient crewmember or if the award of extra flying goes through a system that looks at crew seniority. When you see us complain about drug deals and open time availability, a lot of the time we are complaining about trips that don't make it into the open time system. Once a trip is in the Open time system, trips that go to inappropriately junior crew trigger pay for senior crewmembers.

Pay is your minimum daily guarantee plus 2 hrs for your first day of working into a scheduled off day. 4 hours plus minimum daily for the second day, 6 hours for the third, etc. All of this is above and beyond what you'd otherwise be earning.

Minimum daily guarantee is the minimum credit hours you earn for each day of work..

64hrs is our minimum monthly guarantee. Let's say you have some sick days and only a few work days in a month. The lowest pay you will collect is 64hrs.

We can also trade and drop trips, but this is doen between two crewmembers directly then approved by scheduling. We do not have trade and drop systems like other airlines have.

Hope thIs explanation helps.

Are we sure about this? The offer letter they ask you to sign on the portal still mentions a training compensation of $1600 per month. However it does also still say first year hourly pay of $88.

Can anyone in training right now confirm.
