Any more info on ATI? How does the company treat their employee's? What about CS? Pay, does the company pay you what they are supposed to? How are the operations? Are your aircraft in good shape? Pay and accommodations during training? Main staging bases? Hotel sits on reserve?

Thx

Indoc is now being done in LIT. The DC-8 training is done in CVG and the hotel is the Hilton. 767 training is dome in MIA and the hotel is the Homewood suites. There are no bases, all crews home based.

The last couple of new hire classes have gone to the 767. Were short crews on both aircraft, so it could go either way. Generally speaking the 767 is more junior than the 8.

Just came from training, and was told that this next batch of new-hires would go to the DC-8, but, you never know.

The company will pay for your travel to/from training (they'll buy your airline ticket, or you will be reimbursed for mileage if you drive) and your hotel during training. You'll receive training pay of $500 per pay period (every two weeks) and per diem at a rate of $1.50/hour ($36/day).

Domestic ops on the DC-8 have changed a lot in the past month. The Toledo hub for BAX operations has closed down, and we're doing our flying out of Cincinnati (CVG) for DHL/BAX, but who knows for how long. There's still plenty of charter flying aside from that. The 767s are scattered around, with a couple flying out of Miami, a couple flying out of Germany, one in Bahrain, and some other ops I'm not not familiar with.

As far as company ops go, everyone has a different opinion on how good/bad they are depending on where you've been before, and what you're comparing them to. We've always had a close-knit, family-type of atmosphere within the company, and I have never felt like there was any animosity between management and the crew. However, we're an ACMI, non-sched company, so don't expect it to be like a major airline, and we've been struggling to get our contract amended/re-newed, so there's some frustration among the ranks.

I've not had many problems with scheduling, so I consider them to be pretty good compared with other companies I've worked for, but I've heard stories from other guys, so they screw up sometimes. As far as pay goes, I keep an eye on it, as things occasionally get missed (usually during some type of transition training), but otherwise, they're good about paying you what you've earned. With regards to the planes and mx, I have no complaints about either. The mx guys do a great job of keeping our planes in good shape (that's been my experience, at least).

Hope this helps.

How many hours do you credit on average per month? I see 56 hour is guarantee, but what has been the on line average?
