Can anyone tell me what kind of total time is competitive right now? What are people getting hired with?
If you have the mins, apply. Guys have gotten hired with the mins.

I talked to a guy in his class the average time was about 5000 hours TT. That was a while ago.

Some guys have gotten hired with no Turbine PIC.

I was offered the position with 0 tpic and about 7000 total. It can be done.

So $146*95=$13,870 per month or $166,440 for the year. How did he make an extra $43,000 to get to to 210k without picking up open time? There may have been FO's that made this much but they did a lot of outbasing and open time. It doesn't do anyone any good to throw around BS numbers.

I didn't ask the guy...he just told me what he made...it was over $210.

The point here of all this was that some people were saying that Atlas pay is total crap because some FOs at AA/UAL/DAL made more than some Atlas captains.

In reality, Atlas pay is not up to par compared to AA/UAL/DAL, but just because some FOs somewhere made more than an Atlas capt doesn't mean anything, because some Atlas 747 FOs make more than some Atlas 747 captains also.

Unfortunately it's not computed on a daily basis. It's computed like a standard trip. Sec. 3.C.2. I actually had to find that out the hard way when I did a 10 hour leg on a 4-day OT trip last year, and only got paid for 2, 4, 6, 6 plus the rig. The 10 hour leg meant nothing in terms of pay.

I assure you it's not a daily calculation, sorry. The credit/rig calculation for the trip is handled the same way as a normal trip: It's totaled at the end, and you get the greater of the two.

easyflying, NightIP - there's only one way to settle this. Jello wrestling.

Alpar80 -

Yep. You need to get all the info to HR through the online system. It's the only way through. It seems that nobody in the company, including management can help push things through. Having an internal rec' seems to be a disadvantage.

Good luck!
