As of December, the company is no longer buying the “less expensive” option for alternate travel to an international destination. You can always travel ask and hope they say yes.
Thanks for the response! Why did they stop alt travel to an international destination?

Because it was a handshake agreement under COVID and with the pending takeover by Apollo everyone is counting pennies now.
Strictly speaking it’s not in the CbA.

To whom it may concern:


Omission lying can be defined as the deliberate withholding of pertinent facts or information regarding a person, event, life history or scenario which leads the person receiving this incomplete information to perceive and act differently than they would if they had been given the full relevant information. In other words, a person deceiving someone else not by what is said, but by what is not said, what is left out, of the information they give about something.

Nothing will get better during a takeover from a company that is known for cutting the fat and selling once everything is trimmed to the minimum expense possible. Everything will get worse until it hits the CBA required limits and then possibly worse from there where the company will force the Union to fight them in court. Don’t forget…management is a bunch of lawyers.

Etihad...

Both the LH and Etihad confirmed seats, are only to be used for crews going to work, or coming from work.

Go to google and input Apollo buyout of Sun Country, and see for yourself what happened to sun country after Apollo bought them.
They did sell part of them, after taking them private. After some time, they went public again. Apollo owns at least 45% of the stock of the now-public Sun Country Airlines.

I almost always want to fly. I look at the dates, and offer them in order of whomever expires first, depending on other situations (such as upcoming training, etc.). I pretty much only fly when I need to (will expire before the other pilots, lowgrossweight/aftcg takeoff, prm approach, etc.), or if no one else wants to fly/is there turn to fly. I don't fly very much, because I don't feel I need to, at my experience level. I defer to giving the less experienced pilots the leg. I would like to fly a LOT more than I do. And, I really don't like doing PM on the short legs (under two hours)...WAY too much to do in a short time period.

Just flew with a different FO who also expired. He wasn't sure if the company knew about it, or forgot him. He sat at home for three months, on min pay. He finally got bored, called the company, and immediately got a sim to do his training and get back online.

Some pilots can barely get in one landing per month.

I just did a 9 day trip: Was scheduled for six operating legs. Ended up doing three legs (almost two).
Next pattern is four legs.
Pattern after is six legs...that takes me to the beginning of April...won't know that schedule until later in March.
So, if it goes as planned, 13 legs for Jan-Mar.

How does Atlas handle a new hire with the ATP written complete but who hasn't completed the practical? Accomplish during type training while at sims?

Default Canadian Pilots EB2-NIW

Looking for some recent insight from other Canadian pilots who have successfully obtained an EB2 visa and started with Atlas, mainly in terms of the lawyers used, processing time, and total cost.

Also did Atlas assist or is the responsibility on the applicant?

Many thanks
