Congrats beech_nut! I can't tell you for sure what you'll get your first year...I was hired Jan '11 into the Classic. Most of the guys in my class rarely broke guarantee.

That said, that shouldnt be the case in the future as you won't be Classic bound. Aside from suffering through training pay for oh too many months, the guys in my class who were put on the -400 were getting more than guarantee every month. A few guys I know averaged 80 hours for the year when they were through IOE.

No idea on how the 767 will pan out hour wise....maybe a 76 guy can weigh in...

I've heard (again from a very reliable source) that all of our lift is already sold out for the remainder of the year. Not sure how you quantify "sold out" in this industry, but I think the point was that our airplanes are going to be moving non stop.... and they are hiring more pilots.... and we are getting new airplanes.... and hopefully a whole bunch of other positive stuff. Personally I hope we end up acquiring some of these "inexpensive" -400's sitting around out there...

So while your mileage may vary, I would imagine you'd beat your monthly guarantee during your first year. But that's just MHO. I haven't broke guarantee since December....of course I've only flown one leg since then ;0)

Just got the call for the 23rd as well. What a way to start the weekend...

Very very kool folks!

I'm out of the poll! July 23! Thanks to all for sharing your information and experience. FYI...interviewed September...pool letter same month. Good luck.

Beech_Nut, good luck with your decision and congrats to all that got the call! Hopefully this is the start to the next wave of hiring at Atlas.

Congrats everyone, I told you to stand by your phones! You will love it here.

Was told that they had gotten caught up with OE on the 767, and my class should start OE about the end of July. Was talking to a buddy in the class ahead of mine and it looks like none of them have been called yet, have about had enough time at home and ready to fly again.

Congrats to all the guys getting the calls.

Great to hear the calls are going out ......welcome you're gonna love it!

I also got the call today for the -400 class. I was a September interview as well (15th I believe). I can't wait to start. It took about two seconds after I hung up to fire off my two weeks notice! Thank you to everyone on here for keeping us all updated. I feel like you've really taken care of us along the way and hopefully I can pay it forward to the next class of Atlas hopefuls! For everyone that got the call for the 23rd I'll see you by the grill for adult beverages!!

Most excellent news, gentlemen! Welcome to the fold. See you in Hahn for a pils or two in a few months.
