There’s a reckoning coming for Atlas. Shame on Deitrich and crew for their treatment of the employees.

TBH the ACMI guys flying ACMI hvy iron in and out of KBL are probably some of the lowest paid pilots flying in there. Going rate for the contractors flying through King Airs' etc out of there is 1000-1400+ day.

You also aren’t staying there for months on end. Life isn’t that rosy as a contractor. There’s a reason 99% of contractors go to heavy carriers, and not the other way around.

I dont know anyone who left k4 to fly over there... but we have about a dozen who did that type of flying over there.... NONE that I talked to made the kind of money you are quoting.... most said 700-800 per day....

Sorry if it was that much I might not have left. Those might be “surge” rates to cover low manning but it’s not the norm. When I left last year as one of the more senior instructors at one of the higher paying companies, I was under 1000 per day.

As a matter of fact the average rates have dropped in the last couple years because companies are now hiring SICs with a wet multiengine commercial at 450-500 per day to fill seats. Part of the reason I left.

They used to not even look at you until you had 2000+ hours and either some king air or military tactical time.

I know the daily rate is at least $850. That was four months ago. Buddy who is active duty recently said $1000 for line and $1400 for supervisors. The problem they are having is just like everyone else. People don’t want to do it for the money. It’s not a long term gig and won’t really help you get anything bigger. They were hiring anyone with twin turbine and a relatively clean record. It has been biting them so now the contract requires a clearance PRIOR to starting. No interims. Don’t know if that is secret or TS, but guys are being “hired” and then can’t work for six to eight months because they don’t have a clearance.

The max that I can find for any company is $850 a day. I have a friend who interviewed on Friday and they told him his security clearance wait would be 18 months.
