EVA Is not so great. A lot better jobs in Japan, China,ME and elsewhere in Asia.

Rumor of about eight 767 new hire classes back to back.

 

Does anyone have any current info on what areas are covered on the online technical assessment?

 

To my knowledge, it hasn't changed since it went to the 100-question format. Thus, this guide would still be valid:

Training pay, what other airlines don't have training pay???

First year Guarantee, again something unique to Atlas?

Signing Bonus was meant to reimburse those harmed by the 6 to 7 years of frozen pay, but there would have been such a stink, even those not harmed got a piece of it.

No profit sharing until you are here one year, what's your point? It's in the contract, want it changed, next contract go for it!

 

DAL, AA, UAL and a lot of others have no training pay...everyone starts at first year pay day 1, often with full benefits day 1.

We need to make it better for new guys....if we can't get enough new pilots, we could easily shrink in size, with no upgrades and even captain's being downgraded...that is my biggest worry here.

With so many guys retiring/medicalling out, if we can't do better at retention and new hires, it could really cause a lot of problems.

I want International Gateway Basing...no more imputed income is one advantage, asking with more company flexibility, and everyone on first year pay day one.

If atlas isn't improving, then it is getting worse and in danger of going under. We need to make things better for everyone, including prospective new hires. We already have probably 60% of potential pilots who wine cine here because if two weeks+ on the road...we need to make it more attractive....and not just improve the contract for the 10%.

 

cliff, my wife just started at DL. they are on training pay until they finish OE, just like us. It works out to about the same amount of money once you figure we get paid per diem while on training pay.

 

Thanks again for posting KTBird's summary. Very helpful.

Can someone explain the representation structure from the Giant pilot group. I am educated with the ALPA representation at our airline. I would like to know how your group works. What are the major issues that pilots seem to have?

I don't want to see dirty laundry aired, just the major concerns that the tenured pilots as well as the challenges new hires may still see and would like worked out.

Does your Negotiating Committee have marching orders from your Executive council that represents the interests of the pilots? Again, I don't want to see their Section 6 openers. I'm sure both sides know what the sticking points are.

Thank you. I hope this is acceptable to ask in the Hiring Forum.

I learned some interesting stuff doing this research.
There have been a lot of changes in the industry in the last year.

God Bless and namaste

 

Thanks for the correction...I was using APC contract terms as a reference....

 

I understand Atlas requires pilots to write an essay as part of the interview process. Does anyone know what subjects applicants are being asked to write on? Thanks.
