Take what you read on these forums especially from former pilots who are bitter with a grain of salt. They have nothing better to do than to come onto the forums when they have no knowledge of the current situation or how things are improving. Try emailing again. They might be giving priority to prospects with better availability.

 

Can you elaborate on those improvements at AJT? Not just hopes and dreams but actual hard facts. And the fact that you where awarded 3 new 767s does not construe as “improvements”. Flying brand new airplanes for bottom feeder rates is hardly an improvement.

 

Depends on your end goal. Both can lead you to a good airline. However, regionals will market you way faster.
Places like atlas and ATI are more reputable if you want heavy time.

 

And if you want a better contract than ATI, take a look at ABX.

 

Wait a few months and see the rates and details of the new contract for yourself. I can't publish details that I've been told in confidence.

 

Same. Plus other improvements that have been in motion since the beginning of the year. Our rates will blow ABX rates out of the water. And current upgrade time is 6 months if you have the required time.

 

Making claims like that, you'd think I could find some news on a tentative agreement. But the only links I can find to such a thing are from 2016.

 

ABX rates are 2 years old already and they match ATI's (overall) which are several years old. I would hope/pray that you blow us all out of the water. Good for Amerijet, just make sure the CBA backs up your claims (otherwise you would be just another crappy APC poster). Lastly, please don't come back with something less than the rest and blame it on "it's our 1st contract,...blah, blah, blah".

 

The pay rates tables have already been making rounds around texts and WhatsApp. Trust me, not setting the bar high at all. Barely keeps up with abx. Not to mention the company walked out of negotiations. A pay increase is all they got. Work rules and QOL was not renegotiated, 401k not renegotiated, no health care, etc etc.
But of course money talks, and this raise will pass and put amerijet on the lower middle of the scales for a year or two. After that everyone will set a high bar and move up. Plus everyone else has better work rules which is what really matters for everyone else in the industry. No wonder their ex DO turned MEC chair, quit the MEC in the middle of negotiation’s, that new CBA must be an embarrassment. And following suit is the treasurer quitting the company all together.
As the old saying goes “put lipstick on a pig, still a pig”
