The ATL is the worst part of the job...and FO pay. Good pilots to work with though.

 

[RIDETHELIGHTING]

Yes, and the future looks good.

 

[another cfii]

Yep, like it here. Our FA ain't old and baggy like other airlines in ATL We actually got some young, fun, energetic ones.

I'll try to elaborate a little. Yes. No matter where you look, you're going to hear guys bitching. That's who we are, right? For the most part it's not a bad deal.
How well would you like ATL? Possibly MCO and/or BWI one day. You won't sit reserve as long as you could at some carriers. Age 65 isn't as big an impact as others.
New CEO BF seems to be more people friendly (we'll see). New MEC pres with a very good head on his shoulders. Hopefully these two will be able to get us on the right track to a good contract. Upgrades may slow to beyond 3 yrs, but still probably quicker than others...time value of money invested...
401k with 10.5% b-fund for a good retirement.
I think we've "settled in" and are in a good position to survive for a long time. But then again, this is the airline industry. We could be gobbled up tomorrow.

I'm an east coast guy, so I'm happy. I would do it again.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

would anyone go or have gone to Airtran w/o 1000 Tpic??

 

[PCL_128]

I ended up going with well over 1000, but I was applying and would have taken the job as soon as I had 500 (the minimum). I live in ATL, though, so it was pretty much my first choice. Depends on your priorities.

I like Airtran, Wouldn't mind doing out and backs for the next 35-40 years out of ATL.

I am around 400 hours short of 1000 and have an interview next month.

I just dont want to be in a position in the future where I am looking for a job for whatever reason and my options are limited cause I im short in TPIC time.

Well, there's another option for you to consider. If you get the job offer, AirTran will give you the option of going into a "pool" for up to 6 months. You could ask to go into the pool, and then finish up your 400 hours real quick and then request your class date. You'll probably lose a good 125 numbers on the list, though.
