"we are compensated 40% lower than current industry standard."
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.

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.

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.
