During Recent line check the CA claimed were hiring 1-2 classes a month through 2019.

Just FYI to newbs looking to bypass the regionals and fly 767’s

Two classes a month seems high. That said, a potentially good sign for some movement for folks already on property, shorter upgrade times (maybe 2-4 years?).

Someone getting an upgrade at 3 years at ATI is going to be making some pretty competitive money compared to 3 years elsewhere sitting FO.

True. ATI has to hire like crazy to crew these American Airlines planes that are on the way.

ATI pay is a lot more than Atlas / Southern too. But then again so is basically everybody’s.

This can be a unique learning experience for newbies! You can learn first hand what it’s like to work with scab management pilots and gutless picket line crossers. After you leave for other ventures, you can spread the legacy.

Did you really just admit that ATI’s captain pay is “competitive” with being a first officer elsewhere?

I think he was attempting to make a dig at ABX pilots, but yeah... Now you see what we're up against

For %#cks sake lets hope so! Isn't that what a new contract is supposed to do? Even a lowball one.

You don't think they are telling everyone that? Let the whipsaw begin...

A bit over the top don’t you think? BTW nobody cares who you worked for at that interview that you are moving onto. If ATI continues to grow and they are able to flourish, (signs are pointing in that direction) why would you want to leave?
