UPS, and to some extent FDX (with their narrow-body vs wide-body pay rates) have already figured that out...

But ALPo (!!) drives these things and they have traditionally been for pay differential, 12-year pay scales, etc.

ultradrvr,
I would modify your statement by adding that seat locks being released is significant ONLY if there are vacancies on a higher paying aircraft...IMHO.

we're losing 35-40 a year to retirements, correct? even without new equipment or hiring, there will be vacancies eventually.

Thank you Talon! The admirable and noticed difference between this thread and most others on APC is its cordial conversation and 700+ pages later and we are still on point thanks to moderators like you and 744 and a few others. Thank you all for keeping this thread on its track!

This time last year there was a "dead zone" for hiring/classes as well, then a few days before Christmas the calls started coming in for the "Christmas present class." Not guaranteeing it will happen again like that this year but the "dead zone" is not new to Atlas. Hang in there, this company is intending on being successful and that comes with growth so movement will come soon enough. Your swimming days will soon be just a distant memory.
