Why would you take a job that pays 40% less than industry standard? I'm guessing it's because no one else would hire you. I understand your desire for more pay, but this kind of reminds me of the girl who marries a dude with severe flaws but thinks "well, I'll just have to change him after we're married". I wish you well with your effort to increase your pay. The market forces should help you. But to complain about your pay when no one put a gun to your head to take the job seems a bit incredulous.

This is a little judgmental... I understand why people are going to places like Kalitta, Atlas, and ATSG. It usually adds something to their resume that gets them to an Industry Standard job. Atlas has a 23 year old and that's because "no one else would hire" him. My guess is that he's at UPS or FedEx before he's 30.

There’s. 23 year old captain at ATI. His daddy hired him. The feds laughed when daddy put his name in for check airman.

Ours that I met doesn't know anyone but I think we've got more than 1. Atlas is an impressive gig for a 23 year old where he'll be a 767 Captain at 25. That'll translate into a real job somewhere.

Can any Atlas 76 guys out there give me an idea on how the rotation works? I know it's usually an 8/6 rotation starting out of CVG mostly but, what day of the week do you start? Do you bid for schedules quarterly or monthly? Is there a 8 day vacation? Anything helps except someone telling me to go to Allegiant. Your useless.

Should probably be in one of the Atlas threads but -

Not a 767 guy but looked at the January bids. Most lines start Sunday-Tuesday but some start Wednesday-Saturday. We bid monthly but about half the CVG lines were two month bids. Don't know what an 8 day vacation is. You get two weeks of vacation a year the first five years. If you move a week of vacation into the middle of a 9 or 10 line the whole thing will go away but you'll only get guarantee that month.

Have you tried Kalitta?

Amazon expanded expansion plans at CVG
 
Amazon’s senior vice president of operations, Dave Clark, announced last week that the Seattle-based retailer had just added a parcel of land to the site of its future air operations hub at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG), following last year’s plans to invest US$1.5 billion into the project. “Amazon Air getting ready for take-off in KY!” Clark tweeted. “Just added 210 acres of land as part of the future CVG air hub.” The e-commerce giant is currently building a massive air freight hub at CVG, with construction due to start in 2019, according to airport officials.

I will be shocked if that 23 year old makes it. The amount of alcohol related posts that kid puts on social media plus a checkered history on other sites, the kid Does. Not. Get it.
