Atlas Air Hiring
Good sir, let me be the first to say read the thread. It is not mandatory, but a great way to get a basic level of understanding of the Atlas culture. Best of luck!
PS-ANC goes extremely junior; new hires are usually placed there...I was.

However, as the aircraft seniority sorts itself out, the new hires will most likely go to the 767 in the near future.
Good Luck!

I agree that the 767 should become the junior aircraft, because there are many dozens right now that have been involuntarily held on a lower-paying aircraft while a more junior pilot is on a higher-paying aircraft...in fact, (since first-year pay is the same for both aircraft), every 767 FO past his 12th month is being financially harmed by this deficiency in our CBA.

NOBODY seemed to care.
Potentially TWO years of a more junior person have MORE earning power than a more senior person.

Some quick pilot maths show a difference of ~$30,000 in earnings over the 2 years seat locked on the 767 at a lower pay rate (based on 75 hours/month).
25 months to go...
