The only "airline" with interview invite is Sun Country, but can't afford to work there...
So, I guess the "low" timers that you speak of that airlines are hiring, have something else besides just an application up their sleeve...?
Tons of LOR's, buddies on the HR team...idk..

You’ll need more than those qualifications to be hired by the Big 4 or FedEx & UPS. Think LCA, Management, Safety Jobs, etc.

As far as attracting pilots from other flying organizations, there seems to be an abundance of mesa and great lakes pilots getting hired at ATI and voting yes on a substandard contract because they are too ignorant to know any better.

If ATI wants to grow a LOT, then they will need to get pilots to leave other carriers, like Kalitta, Atlas, JetBlue, Delta, FedEx, Chinese airlines. If they want to grow a little bit, they MAY be able to do it with their current contract.

I think that THE biggest reasons that ATI got their new contract, was that they were having difficulty recruiting/retaining pilots. And, the Pilot Shortage is getting worse...the Pilot Shortage situation was better back when ATI got their current contract.

Just bear in mind when you interview at another major and the reps from labor ask you these types of scenarios and where you stand, give them your answer and don't let the door hit you in the arse on your way out lads.

I interviewed at FedEx and my time at ATI was viewed as positive. Nice try with your fear propaganda but it didn’t come up at all. (BTW I was hired)

I know of quite a few ATI pilots trying to escape that can't get a call or have been turned down. Just ask around. There are many airlines that just about anyone can go to that pay better than any ACMI and have just as quick upgrades...and better opportunity to build time....... ...waiting for someone to bow up and deny any connection. .......>>>

Frontier cpt upgrade 2-3 years
Spirit cpt upgrade 3-4 years
Allegiant cpt upgrade 3 years.....all better pay than ati because they have meaningful trip/ duty/ min day credit. And all have a better retirement.

And Envoy direct entry cpt 110k
