Any idea of the class sizes? How many are in the May class?

Hope something desired in the next contract is a realistic seat lock time like other airlines have. 3 is excessive.

If all the Atlas pilots were paid based on years and seat position (like UPS), they could get rid of seat locks, as all airframes would pay the same.

May 19 was 12, with 1 requal. Most of the classes so far this year have been 12.

Even if they still picked the x-Delta guy at least they would have done the politically correct thing of interviewing candidates. But instead bring in this guy (not saying he's not qualified) who hasn't seen ACMI/CMI non-scheduled ops. Kinda of a kick in the groin when they are wanting cooperation, don't ya think?

100% correct! I'm sick of emails announcing new mgmt positions and the latest one was out of left field. I had to read it twice.

Saw a Southern 777 in one of our spots at the ACP in ANC today. A sign of things to come?

Southern has always used those spots as long as its a DHL flight. The only flights using ACP is Polar and Atlas flights. The Qantas flights use the Romeo spots.

Yeah, been here for a bit over a year and haven't seen Southern there. But it makes sense for the DHL stuff. Still, wouldn't be surprised to see more triple 7's up there in the near future.

Lots of people are saying "the 767 will be the junior airplane from now on". It's true that soon most newhires will go to the 767, but won't that be temporary? There are 83 767 FOs right now. As their locks expire over the next year there will be 8 classes of 767 newhires to replace them. And then newhires will go to the 747 again. (And those 767 FOs will be stuck in their locks for 3 years, again. While junior newhires go to the 747).

Why would this hiring be any different than it was 3 years ago?

I think between retirements and attrition it's reasonable to expect at least 80 newhires will be needed every year. We're hiring at least that many this year.
