Brown & Purple F/Os are still making as much or more than captains flying Amazon stuff. So I don't think any of them are too worried. But I do remember a bunch more start up and old freight carriers that are no longer flying too. Not sure which category you will fall into, but I wish you the best of luck.

If your company makes to big boy status then it will be a desirable place to work, so try and represent your company a little better and stop sounding like a D bag!

 

You're right.

I'm sure the next 16.5 months will make all the difference in your prognostication becoming true.

 

Im a newb here at ATI. Like I said in an earlier post. People here are thinking this is the greatest thing ever and that 787 factory freighters are being ordered right now. I made more flying Rj's than captains here. Im here to check a box and that is it. Its laughable, just read the post on here. I can say it speaks volumes about the company. Saddly the pilots are beat down and the union is probably on the take. The later is the only way to explain the compensation.

Its ACMI/charter snap out of it!!

 

I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way. But you must realize that every group has its percentage of "disillusioned" and another percentage of "grumpy" and another percentage of "beat downs" and....... Well u get what I mean.
As for our contract, I'm sure you were told this, but we are negotiating for only the third time. and while it would be nice to have a really mature contract at the snap of our fingers, it is what it is. That's why we have a percentage of people here that are trying to "better our lot here" through volunteering to do Union work.
It sounds like you've been on a union property before, how about bringing some of that experience here and make a difference rather than just trying to "check a box". Which by the way, in this hiring environment, I'm not sure why you would need to do that. But if you're planning on baling out, ( and I say this with the utmost respect) please do so quickly so that someone who really wants to be here and enjoys this culture can get on quickly.

Respectfully,

FAJ

 

Well said. What kind of box??? I would think the poster would have had some kind of credentials to get hired...

 

Well, he's already checked the box that says "I"ve overstressed an airframe and gleefully named myself for it". His credentials are that he's overqualified for NASA, but he'll settle for us for now.

 

Just wondering where all the 76's are going to come from?

 

We're putting them together from spare parts, boneyards, museums, parking lot signs, you name it.

Duct tape LOTS OF IT!

 

.................

 

FAA guy told me a few years back as long as you don't hit anybody's house or livestock on the way down we're good!
