I guess 777 rumors have gotten too old for the rumor-mongers. 737 is the freshest rumor of a new fleet type, FWIW. I guess perhaps for DHL and apparently some suits from the "new" Eastern were in the school house. As with anything, believe it when you see our name on the airplane. 737 pays 76% of 747 pay rates.

But seriously, gooda ruck to Atlas if the 737 thing ever happens. The $97/hr second year pay on the 747 is a strong draw to Atlas, but everything below that (even the 767) isn't really a great deal.

Oh, I never said it was great. Just better than most other places if Delta/United/AA aren't blowing up your phone. I'm pretty sure Atlas has been counting on that for some time.
But, get down to new hires making 84% or less of that pay, and other non-Legacy options start looking better (even just staying put at a regional makes sense).

Coming in and flying the 737 as an FO would mean that we'd start attracting guys who would be starting at a regional but decide to get some 737 time instead. Just an opinion... They won't be able to get any new types on property if they keep losing us faster than they can train us which is what has happened so far this year.

Someone didn't think that one through.
Ah well, enough rumor-mongering. When are we getting the 787s again?
