With some of the majors and high paying cargos hiring again maybe the corporate strategy of "Just be happy to have a job" will finally go away.

I would love to be happy at Atlas - although I heard you really need an internal rec to get past the initial filter.
Any previous C-17 drivers working there that could PM me some info?? Thanks! |
I can echo that a 4 yr FO can make that much. $165k but that is definetly with OT. The average month is 105 trip pay. You can always go for time off as well. Nice being able to have a choice what you want to do that month.

SWA pays per trip, not per hour but if you convert the trips to an hourly wage it comes to about $115/hour for a 4-year FO. So, if your friend is making $14K/month then he's working what equates to around 120 hours a month. That's serious overtime. I believe SWA's guarantee is equivalent to 78-79 hours/month. So, either he's working the system big time or else he has exaggerated his monthly income. At $14K/month without OT, that comes to $168K a year. I don't know any airline that pays FO's that well.

If your talking the very first contact that an Atlas H.R. rep has with you in the form of the phone screen, which after you pass leads to the link for the online tech assessment/NHPS form, which leads to the call for an interview in Miami, that would NOT be correct. Plenty of dudes made it past that initial filter (if that's what you meant) and went on to be hired without knowing anybody. Also, there's guys that have internal recs and can't even get a call, as evidenced by the other thread in the hiring section. |

I do.
But, I guess that depends on your definition of an "airline". ;) I'll bite, what do you mean? |
I heard a rumor that the new contract might not be for another year now....due to the arbitrators health condition? Has anyone heard that?

But pay-wise, it is most definitely a "real" airline. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Atlas thread. Good luck guys - arbitration seems to be feast or famine. Hoping the Atlas boys get a good break. |
