I know...we knew it going in, but...
I'd venture to say that if one is focused on the single issue of pay then most likely you'll be miserable unless you were working for whomever is currently at the top of the heap. ....and the top of the heap changes places regularly. If you add quality of life and enjoyment of the type of flying being done then it's more likely that the result will be better. Granted, those things are different for different people. What I consider great quality of life and thoroughly enjoyable flying may be an anathema to the next fellow. Atlas is a perfect fit for me. It may or may not be for you. It's extremely important to sort that out early on in the game.

Absolutely, and like we've talked about, the seniority issue is a big concern. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a bit raw about constant hiring on the 747 while we're stuck at lower pay rate, simply because we had previous 767 experience.

Kind of...there must be seats avail on the 74. We can't displace a junior guy on the 'senior' equipment - that's my interpretation of the CBA (Ref for 74 Driver!)
The pay at the other airlines listed may be comparable...but I've never commuted to work without a revenue ticket in hand.

Well at worst you have 24 months 'till you can move to the Gucci Jet. If another fleet appears on the Atlas ramp I'm guessing that seat locks would be either unlocked or pay protected. In any case, there will probably be opportunities sooner rather than later at Atlas.

And who's counting? I'm down to 11 months, so I guess I am!

If new equipment arrives (!!) and lots of 744 folks want to move to a new type, there may be situations where they may need to backfill the 744/8, and positions will become available...plus I believe they cannot keep you from a higher paying aircraft (in the case of a new equipment award).
That said, it may also be a situation where (as DC8 mentioned, I believe) that you may be pay-protected if you are held back from bidding a higher paying fleet...but right now we don't have that in the current CBA, so it may have to be an LOA/MOU.
Disclaimer: No, I do not have any double-secret knowledge of the above scenarios actually being in play at this time.

Any idea when the application window may be opening? World is putting a chunk of guys on the street on the 23rd.
Second question. There's a sim instructor position on the Atlas web site. Any idea what they are paying?
Thanks
