Atlas Air Hiring
Few questions regarding Atlas. I got invited for an online assessment. Currently I am flying 747 for an Asian carrier making about 90-100k net including everything (perdiem, OT etc.). If anyone can answer some of the questions would be great.
i) Would Atlas be a good airline long term? or is it considered to be a stepping stone to the majors/legacy carriers? My goal is to get to a major/legacy carrier.
ii) Is JFK a base for the 747? If so how junior is it?
iii) What is the schedule like on the 767 compared to the 747?
iv) The first year grantee after OE is 50 hours or 62 hours? APC page isn't clear about that.
v) First year pay seems to be at par with some of the regional airline, how does the second year pay works out for most of the guys?
vi) Does the pilot group being sued by the company affect the contract negotiation? Any chance of getting a contract in the next year or two?
vii) Would you say Kalitta is a better cargo outfit than Atlas? It is subjective but just to get an idea.

ii) yes, only 32 FOs (that base has shrunk over the years), junior guy has been here a little over 1.5 years, it's also the senior 767 base.
iii) it's very different. perhaps you should investigate this more.
iv) min guarantee is 50 first year, 62 thereafter.
v) take the hourly pay, multiply by 72, then by 12. That's a decent WAG for what you'll make 2nd year and beyond. I've been here 5+ years and have not broken $100k yet. That would be easier to do if you get the 747.
vi) in what way would it help? yes, there's a chance. I also have a chance at winning the lottery if i buy a ticket.
vii) before their new deal? No. Now? Probably. I don't keep tabs on the fine details, but their pay rates are certainly better. Dig into their work rules and decide.

Strato,
It was 1.4% of last year's pay. If you're talking take home after taxes, union dues and 401k, that would make the payout around 180 which means according to your statement "most" Atlas pilots made less than 13k last year. It's screwed up but you lose credibility when you go that far from reality.

Well since you don't get full profit sharing until after your 2nd full year and with all the hiring lately he could be right. Hundreds under 1 year get $0 and everybody in year 2 gets prorated amounts, most being very low.

So they are allowing you to delay your class date if you want to get the desired equipment? This seems strange considering the southern air switcheroo they have been said to be pulling.
Company decides, but hiring for the 747 currently outpaces the 767 2 to 1. Plus, they're not exactly in a position to turn away qualified candidates. You might have to wait a class or two, but most likely they'd give it to you.
