What I know is that I have found the best job for me and I am very happy, everyone deserves the same so I agree with you J Knox, wish everyone searching for something else much luck in their quest.

I see your point. No company could ever meet that sort of timeline with a new fleet type. Well, unless you count a company called Atlas Air that did exactly that with the B-767 two years ago! I'm not saying this will happen, but the timing matches the rumors...could we do it? Yes. Will we? Wait for the announcement.

Unless there is significant growth or a mass exodus, eight year upgrades are not on the horizon for the junior guys, more like 15+!!!

Just curious .... the Atlas profile says contractual pay raises in Sept 2013-15. Do the payrates that are currently listed reflect the Sept 2013 pay raise?

No, I have submitted the new rates twice but they have not been updated yet.

Precisely. In the list concerned, the projected retirements through 2030 number 486. As of the latest seniority list we have a pilot group numbering 1026. Do the math and you discover that by 2030 there will be 47% of those on our current pilot list retiring.
