Classes start on a Monday, with the exception of holidays, and the call usually goes out the Thurs or Friday prior to the Monday that would be three weeks out from class. Clear as mud?

Then again, if someone drops out at the last minute and you're the fill in guy, they may call anytime to see if you can make it.

Senior Atlas Captain said the company is presently 120-150 pilots overstaffed. It appears they might have over hired. Business has slowed also for them. I believe they lost a few contracts.

Any thoughts that this will account for the remaining retirements in 2013?

Thanks for input.

Contracts come and go in this business....even if they did (or didn't) .... other one's are just around the corner.

Indeed. People hear a company "lost" a contract, but don't consider the fact that those airplanes are often placed elsewhere. It's a net loss that's worrisome, and at least since I've been here (January), Atlas has only grown.

Hi all, question about retirement. It appears that you can contribute up to 10% and company will match half, so up to a 5% company contribution to a 401K. Is there profit sharing or possibly some type of ESPP? Also, do you think retirement benefit increase will be a priority on the next round of negotiations?
