Thanks MrSky.

Does ATI have in-house training? Is everyone typed? Do you start out as FE?

in house in Dayton, they were typong folks about 2 yrs ago, that cause a stink with the senior folks, and no FE, they have pfe's for that

767 training, whenever we start actually doing it, will take place to my understanding under Boeing's tutelage, no knowledge as to whether ground school will take place at same location as sim, or whether new hires will be able to go into the 76. All DC-8 training seems to be entrenched in DAY, all in-house. There was a rumbling of hiring second officers last year, basically as a stopgap to fill potentially needed PFE vacancies to have pilots ready to move to the right seat as we get the 76s. So far, that has not been needed, so if we hire again anytime soon, expect a right seat. We've had a number of PFEs go for the right seat over the years, but we seem to have enough to get us through whenever 76s start filtering in, maybe come March. No stated plan on parking DC-8s as 76s come on. We'll probably use them until they need a heavy check and park them, although I think we'll do checks on the DC-8-73s and keep them going for a very long time. Not accepting resumes at the moment, but watch www.airtransport.cc for updates.

Looks Like another guy getting ready to interview....LOL

OK, House, why LOL?

 

[MrSky]

OK, House, why LOL?

No particular reason except you see a pattern of questions when someone is about to apply or has an interview coming up.

If you want my thoughts about the company, and management reads these posts, so I have nothing to say on here except what I think is truthful. Read up about a couple posts and you will see a Q&A I wrote someone about my thoughts of the place.

Is ATI currently interviewing?

 

[b707guy]

Don't know the interview plan, but we expect to hire maybe 50 or so more this year. A class of I believe 8 just started this past Monday. If you don't already have an application going, visit www.airtransport.cc and click on the Careers at ATI link on the left side of the screen, then Find a Position, select First Officer, and create an account for yourself. The rest is up to you!

Thanks for the Info!

Are the Yellow and Red DC-8's I see from time to time part of the ATI Group? Or will they be in the future with your merge with ABX?

Those are Astar.

 

[b707guy]

All of our aircraft are white-topped with blue undersides (see my sig pic). I don't think ABX has any more DC-8s operating, but theirs were gray with some red, although I seem to recall seeing one of theirs painted yellow and red like the Astar jets. I think Astar has some white/blue with the Astar logo instead of the yellow/red DHL. Hvydriver can help out there. We just parked our last green/white BAX Global painted jet. It was up for a heavy check that I guess we don't want to pay for, so it's sitting in MHV with no motors. Bottom line, if it doesn't say ATI on the side, it's not one of ours. None of us here has a clue as to what may happen with our respective companies, and so far, there's no merge at all. It's just that ATI and Cappy are owned by the same parent company as ABX now.

 

[hvydriver]

All of ours are yellow and red, save for the one "Red Star" company colors bird.

Did ATI change their call sign or ATC prefix? I saw some different numbers coming out of TOL recently.....TN2808!

 

[l8fr82hub]

If you saw that on flightaware.com. I think they're having some sort of problem. ATI still files the flight plans as ATN. Don't know how to get flightaware to correct it. The identifier shows correctly on flytecomm.com.

 

[b707guy]

Most of our call signs are fixed three digit numbers starting with an 8 after the ATN. ATN 808, for instance, is TOL-BFI-PDX. ATN 2808 would most likely be something headed for PDX, but not involving BFI, or maybe it's an added flight direct PDX. Sometimes you'll see or hear ATN 7xx, which would be a TOL run that Cappy normally does, but we're filling in on for some reason (they broke, too much freight for a 727, whatever...). Other oddballs like ATN 101 would be a ferry or repo flight. As l8 said above, the TN is probably a flight tracker abbreviation protocol. Whether it's intentional or a problem, I don't know.

ABX had some yellow/red 60 series DC-8's (also grey with red/black trim) but they all went the way of the dodo around the first of the year.

I contacted the flightaware folks and they corrected the problem.

Isn't there at least one white/green plane that says BAX Global on it? I thought that was one of yours? I've seen it in LAX last, but don't remember how long ago.

 

[b707guy]

That would have been 829BX, and it was parked in Mojave last month. It's motors were put on 822BX which had been in motor-less storage for the past few months. 822 just came out of heavy check last week, so unless BAX coughed up the funds for a green and white paint job, it should be blue and white.

Thanks! Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen the green/white one.
