Default Seat lock

Hi everyone,

I had few doubts, if someone can help me out!

Is it true that WGA got quick Upgrade Times?
Does WGA have seat lock?

I have been offered class date from Atlas and WGA, and the only thing attracting me towards WGA is upgrade times. Obviously Atlas pay is higher and now with new pay seems like a airline to retire. (Obviously I don’t have much information about WGA as I have no friends or references working for WGA).

Quick upgrade time is not necessarily a good thing in LH WB ACMI flying.

It is if you've been doing LH WB ACMI captaining for years/decades and want to go right to the higher paying seat.

With all the tumult going on now - is WGA hiring into both positions or just FO? Is the pay on APC accurate as well - or has that been improved upon in the current environment?

It’s been improved but the forums won’t update, I’ve submitted updates as well as others. 10% higher than what APC shows, days 18+ are 200% pay, and lines are different now. Unknown about hiring into both positions.

Default Schedules and rest

Hi Everyone

How are WGA schedules typically like?
I understand the fact that we fly 17 days a month and extendable till 20th day.

Do we usually fly nonstop with Minimum rest? Do we get good rest in between the flights?

Keep us posted, let us know which fork in the road you decided upon and how it’s going periodically. Nothing more dangerous than a person with options! Good luck and wish you the Best!

This times 1,000......

given the choice, I'd go to Atlas.

Upgrade times will drop everywhere as the shortage sucks up pilots.
