Hey guys,

I tried to search for info on the ANC domicile, however, didn't find much info. If one is lucky enough to get one of those 10 new hire spots what kind of flying could be expected? Also, how is the commute for guys on the east coast? Do you use many off days to travel? Still swimming from Sept interview!

Thanks

 

Swimmers don't despair. Even though this award only shows 20 new hire slots, it also shows that CVG will be staffed to 20 767 captains and 16 767 fo's. I'm pretty sure that the 5 767's slated for CVG will require more pilots in both seats than that. These numbers are very fluid and are based upon what I assume is short term projected training center capabilities. I'm thinking that there will be many more 767 fo's needed. I'm also thinking that if DaMoose is correct that we will need 6 capts and 6 fo's for each DHL 767, that means 60 CVG 767 pilots. This bid only accounts for 36 of those pilots and that 36 includes the 10 767 new hires listed in the award so that means at least 34 new hires to fill those seats.
Of course the captains will not be hired off the street, but they will come from the right seat of the 744 and those seats will need to be filled by new hires. And this speculation is just for the 767 in CVG. There will be other vacancies appearing when the -8's start arriving.
Bottom line is that Atlas appears to continue to need many more pilots and will, with some delays due to classic pilot transitions, be hiring for the foreseeable future.
Maybe, just maybe, I got in the right line this time ...

Hot Poop! 76 class starts mar 19th. Dont know how many.

 

You got a call???

 

twoshades,

I'm an ANC new hire and for the last 7 months my lines have just about always started out of ANC. For gateway purposes, you'll just about always end up with imputed income and you'll travel on your days off. As for flying, it's Atlas... stand by for schedule changes, unless you're on one of the DHL trips, and they rarely change. Most of my trips seem to be in the "Bamboo Triangle" (DXB-HKG-PVG), but there are plenty of other layovers and if you get picked off your trip in DXB, you can easily find yourself in Europe or Africa. After all, flexibility is the key to Air.... oh wait that was a former life. Good luck!

Hey all,

Can anyone decipher that earnings report yesterday and tell if we will get the profit sharing this year? And how will it compare to last year?
All signs look good...I think
