DH is paid after your 13th month on property.

And then it is paid at 1/3...1 hour toward guaranty for every 3 hours of a scheduled flight, pax flight, limo, etc.

However, a lot of this is a moot point as the new CBA is put in place. It is rumored to have a 4.85 hours per day rig. For that kind of a rig, it might not matter about trip guaranty unless you have an awarded trip worth a lot of pay credit.

Same goes for the DH credit...it may not matter that the DH credit (in the new CBA) is rumored to be 1:2.85 (don't ask how they came up with that number), as the daily rig of 4.85 hours covers most of our deadheads anyway...unless you do a very long DH from one part of the world to another, which does happen several times a year.

Wow that is low esp. for the amount of deadheading.

Thanks for all the info Whale.

Thanks for the correction...good for the FNGs.:cool:

Thanks guys for posting a more in depth look at your pairings. Seeing these types of schedules makes me want to fly for Atlas even more. I even had to look up a few of the airport codes. Definitely won't go to some of these palces with a legacy carrier.

Just curious... a couple of you guys mentioned that at one point or another you have had a layover turn into 5 days, 150 hours, etc and then have had flying added to fill in the gap. How does the company notify you in such cases and how much time do they give you to get to the airport? What if you don't have an international cell phone? Or what if you are out exploring during the day and they can't get a hold of you right away? Are you expected in check in every so often?

I've not had a no-$hit, short-notice, operate or DH from a Reserve assignment on more than a couple of occasions...and I have been at Atlas a long time.

During a layover, when a trip cancels, you have to be rested to operate anyway. Therefore, I have on one instance refused a short-notice assignment because it was a rolling delay caused be an airplane technical problem.

The company pays for internet access at ALL our layover hotels (where our hotel contracts don't include it), so you can check your trip "evolve" over the course of minutes, hours, days!!

Most of us don't carry phones with international calling plans...at least not for company purposes. Most of us do however have GSM mobile phones with international data, and messaging plans.

If I am planning an outing during my 24/7 required rest, I don't need to be contactable. When a flight is canceled, I am in touch with sCrew Scheduling via a land line in my hotel room. I then get an idea of when I can expect the next flight to operate or DH.

If you are put on Reserve, you will be given specific times of the day when you are to be rested and on duty (reserve) in the hotel, etc.

Questions, comments, corrections are welcome!!

I'm with you on that one sandstorm. After seeing how the pairings work and where all you guys fly to this type of flying sounds way more interesting then some other places.

Ok guys/girls online test has been taken now I've been reading on here how some of you have been digging around and finding out your mastery score of 66. Anybody remember how you found that? Mine says passed but as you've all stated that doesn't tell you much other than well than I passed.
