    Will Delta pilots destroy the airline?

    BECAUSE, THAT'S WHY !! By God, we are entitled to our jobs. If I decide that I want to be an airline pilot and make a high salary, it should be mine - no questions asked. I should not be subjected to the market forces of supply and demand...... I have no option to go out into the market and...

    Question for Atlas Pilots

    Actually it's "YOU'RE", as in a contraction of "you are". "YOUR" is a posessive modifier. Regardless of if ATA will be gone or not in 6 months, they are still a major. So now that you've been blatantly wrong twice on this one thread why don't you pull the knotted panties outta YOUR hiney...

    ATA hopeful

    Something I have heard from the guy who does the initial screening of the apps.......this told to me when there fewer (though still many) apps on file... "I flip through them quickly, and I know in a matter of seconds if I want to look further, then they go into another pile where they get a...

    ATA vs. World

    Depends a lot on what you are after in your career. World specializes in something that is only a small portion of ATA's portfolio of business. I really love cruising the globe in a very cool widebody, doing exotic flying and laying over in interesting places. If this is your bag, ATA has a...

    ATA in trouble?

    Up Front... The fact that ATA is facing some difficulties is not in the least bit news. The fact that there is a lot of work to do to survive and prosper is not news. What is news to me is that this is the first place I have worked where the management communicates clearly what they percieve...

    ATA Interview question

    Hard to tell...... When they called me for my interview, it came up with the Indy area code (317), so I knew before I answered that I should get nervous. Scheduling comes up not as blocked, but as "call" on my service (AT&T)....I can't honestly recall if other calls from the offices come up...

    World Airways Pilot Job!

    It is also one of the last true adventures left in aviation. If I weren't already very happy over here at ATA I'd jump at World. True enough, it is NOT for everyone, but cruisin' the Globe in a TriStar has been one of the coolest things I can ever imagine. We see World crews a lot on the...

    ATA Class Question

    Harley Guy - I wouldn't worry a bit. In my interview they told us about several people in situations such as yours, and it was no problem at all. As the last poster mentioned, if you've got the interview, they already want to hire you. Just be up front (about the availability date AND your...

    ATA schedules

    And another thing Otis - I noticed you're an FO on a 74.... I would guess you're doing a lot of what we do and go the same kind of places.... ATA does have some very decent contract scheduling provisions, I think, compared to what I have heard about other long haul operators. I looked at 737...

    ATA schedules

    L-1011 schedules I am a new hire L-1011 FO, been online about four months. The type of work the L-10 is doing right now is such that I won't leave the house without my 8-day "world-pack" and laundry tabs for some sink-washing! I haven't had a trip yet that was less than 12 days (the maximum...

    L-1011 Lifestyle at ATA

    I am a recent new-hire into the L-1011 at ATA.... I can't imagine a cooler job or more fun you could have in aviation these days. It's not everyone's glass of beer, I'm sure, but I'm having a blast. Some basics..... The bid packets will have a few (April more than usual it looks) hard flying...

    how boeings got their numbers?-727, etc

    717 is a recycled designator. The 707 was developed into another model known as the 720, and somewhere in there "717" was to be used and wasn't for some reason...I read and have forgotten. There's a pretty recent book out on the 707 that probably addresses it, but the 720's were referred to...

    Need help. Fly for my wife's company?

    Part 134 and a half Be vewwwwy vewwwy careful, Bugs. There are more pitfalls and potholes in the scenario you are describing than a Detroit highway. First of all, if you rent the airplane and then re-bill it to them, YES that's "holding out" in the FAA's eyes. Anything they pay you at...

    Champion Air Jumpseat

    Champion is very cool for jumpseating. Call dispatch at 800-929-2956, they can list you for the jumpseat and give you loads. Unfortunately, they don't usually know the loads until a few days ahead of time because of the way the wholesalers relay the info. Check the website...

    Ata

    2Q and 3Q numbers are ugly - operating losses of around $25 million each, total book losses around $60 million for each of those quarters. They tell us we will be burning cash through the end of the year. Expected return to breakeven should be first quarter '03. Massive slash and burn cost...

    RJDC on new DAL scope deal

    If I were a fellow regional pilot, I'd be furious at you guys (RJDC). You seem to ignore the big picture.....the overwhelming majority of regional pilots would like to move on to bigger and better equipment and pay. ALPA is trying to safegaurd the jobs most of you would like to go to. I...

    Ego's aside, who's next to go?

    Well, for whatever it's worth half of your "lawn dart" list may be better off than you think.... Champion Air and Planet Airways were the only two charter carriers to post a profit in 2001 - and Champion will be profitable for 2002 as well it looks. Planet is very heavily backed (money wise)...

    ATA Hiring Plans

    Just got my training letter today for Monday's L-1011 class. It's the first time I have seen it in writing, so some celebratory excuberance ensued. Nothing like seeing it on paper!

    ATA app shorthand

    Mine was fully typrd with seperate attached sheets for the essays and for the listing of "clubs, organizations, key leadership roles" slot on page 2 (or thereabouts). I have heard all different answers from folks that have been hired, from all hand-written to all typed to half and half. What...

    ATA interview results & nxt intvw dates

    Yes, but only in this hemisphere. A lot of Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. I haven't done the rest of the world. One of the things I really wanted in ATA was the wierd places they send those L 10's to. I love that kind of stuff.
