Brilliant strategy...that seems to be a common recipe recently for successful candidates.

Wear a purple suit so you can stand out, and they'll certainly remember you...

Good luck

For the first initial FOs hired directly into the 767, seat locks expire in September and October. That's 30 FOs unlocked in Sep/Oct. The initial 767 Captains begin unlocking slightly sooner.

Based on this info I have a question for those more seasoned than I: in the past folks have wondered whether they were hired to the 74 or 76. When this happens then those folks will be able to bid over to the 747. When a seat opens then they will be able to fill that. Will this result in the 767 now being the entry plane for Atlas?

The way I understand it is if there are vacancies on the 747 that can't be filled by 767 folks, either by lack of bidders or too many people locked on the 767, then a new hire will get the seat. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 767 as the sole new hire airplane after September. Also, with that being said, if you are currently on property and on the 747 with less than three years seniority then you should expect to be in what ever seat and base you are holding come September until your three year anniversary with not much movement up in seniority in your base. That is the way I read the CBA as it presently sits. Most 767 folks can come over and hold a decent quality of life in most bases on the 747 along with the pay bump that goes with it with 3+ years seniority.

Thank you. I wouldn't be here has others not paid of fwd. I have not met a pilot group yet that was as willing to help others as the Atlas group. We certainly have our issues but this hand-shaking; world-exploring, love-to-help pilot group is what makes this place wonderful!

When you are ready to come to Atlas, let me know!

But the pay disparity and variety in parings sounds like a big motivational factor for many to move on.

However much the 74 pilots make fun of the "light twin", let it be known that there is a bit of jealousy there as we are the side of the house that has the best times! ...5 day layover in SYD.. yeah!

Well, could happen faster is someone convinced companies like Emirates that WE should be doing their 777 freight... just saying.
