I have no doubt that this will turn away many gleamy eyed prospects that only want to fly the Whale. This can only be good in that it's a couple of extra BTU's from the fire under Flynn/Deitrich's asses to get on with a new CBA.

That's a joke... I bet there are 100 747 pilots who'll be leaving for greener pastures between now and January 1st. The training center will have to be at Max Capacity to tread water for the 1st quarter of 2018 at this point. I could see them scaling back and putting some Sim instructors out on the line but, in all honesty is this a troll?

The last bid package had @ 100 guys already waiting for/on OE (both fleets/seats). MIA can churn them out, but the weak link has always been OE. Last year, the 767 got so backed up new hires waited at much as 5 months at home after training before seeing a jet. Looks like it's the 747's turn.

All it means is that they've stopped for now. As with anything Atlas, that can change in 5 minutes.

I fought this battle years ago, won, and haven't had any issues since. R2 at a base hotel is NOT imputable. Again, if you are being imputed keep fighting it, keep going up the chain in the union if your not getting the answer you need. I have taken R2 at my base many times (and I live there btw, but take the hotel anyways) and do not get imputed since I fought back. Keep fighting it.

Good luck.

And yes, the inconsistency and misapplication of these laws is another reason one should think twice before coming here vs.holding out for something else.

Are you eligible for "Gateway"? I.e. Do you live within 130 miles of your base? If you're not eligible for gateway, then by defenition you can't be imputed. Yours is then a pretty unique situation.

We'll be losing at least 30 a month starting in January... At least. We're losing between 20-30 now with United not even hiring. There's been at least 3 Atlas guys in every Delta, United, FedEx, UPS, and American class this year according to leadership...

Anyone know when Atlas will be at a job fair? I'd like to talk to someone in person.
Also, does someone have Kathy's email address?
Thx.

Searched the thread but information was from 2012. Any idea on how senior MIA is? How long to hold it? Is it both 747/767?

MIA is only a 747 base. Not sure about seniority, but latest is that the remainder of the classes for 2017 are for the 767.

767 bases are CVG and JFK, CVG being junior, and by far where the majority of the pilots are based.

Miami is the 2nd most senior base on the FO and CA side. There is no 767 base. You could probably hold it after a year but to give you an idea last year when I was based there as a 5 year FO I almost had to work Christmas. You'd be given a schedule for around a year. As a Captain you're looking at 7 or 8 years to be the last Captain IF attrition/growth rates continue.

There aren't many people who already live there and most Atlas bases do spit you out and you never return to base.

Hello All and thanks in advance. I just got the call to come interview and was told they are only hiring for the 767. I currently live in Anchorage and was kind of hoping to be based there!

With that being said I am trying to get an idea of what life would be like on the 76 living in ANC.

How does gateway travel work? Would I travel on day 1 and home (home being ANC) on day 17? Or will I essentially be working 19 days on because of travel on either side?

Is it possible to bid over to the 74 from the 76?

Any advice is appreciated!
