Anyone know anything about these folks? From what I could gather off their website they do a combination for of on demand charter all over the world, cargo and combi cargo/pax flights. Pay is pretty good $51 for first year FO. I can't find anything on quality of life, benefits, bases etc. Any help would be appreciated.
 
He said $51 per hour, not 51k. I am guessing the monthly guarantee is either 50 or 55hrs, which would put you in the ballpark of 31k per year. Most of the charter supplemental carriers have a much lower monthly guarantee, albeit they still pay much better than most regional airlines. Cheers.
 
I have a good friend who is a PFE for them and he's lovin' life and looking forward to an FO upgrade this summer. He's making something like $90/hr (yes, that's right, $90/hr) and flying about 80-90 hours per month. Seems to be a hard place to land a job even if you do know someone.

ATI does a lot of military cargo hauling to Europe, middle east and pacific with stretch 8s. Sometime in the future they are supposed to go to 76s.
Hope this helped.

Thats encouraging news! I applied for one of five open FO positions and I recieved all the application stuff. I don't have anything resembling and FE written or rating so hopefully they are hiring into the FO seat? Do you know where their bases are? I can't seem to find it. I hear Little Rock and Toledo but that doesnt sound right. Thanks again for the good news.
 
Also looking for info while I fill out there application. My background is all corporate with a 73 type.
I do not know anyone with the company.

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about the FE thing. They use Professional FEs. Not sure if they expect you to have your FE written though. Best of luck.
 
Bases

Does anyone know where the bases are at? Do you have to live at their bases or can you commute?
 
Here's the info I've managed to get by talking to a couple of current and former employees:

Pay: Base is about $37k for first year FO, plus per diem of $36 a day

Bases: Home based, so you live wherever you want and ATI pays for your ticket to work and back home

Schedules: Usually 16 days on, rest of month off. Can be different if you want to fly international

Upgrades: Apparently a lot of their captains are reaching retirement age in the next 3-5 years, so upgrade shouldn't be that long

Equipment: All DC-8s right now. A few Combi's are used for military charters, but most are all-cargo stretch versions

QOL: The guys I've talked to seem to love it there. Apparently the company treats the employees pretty good and respects their time off
 
ATI ......Pretty good non-sked

I spent a year and a half there as a DC8 F/O. Great bunch of guys and gals.Real variety of flying to chose from ,too. From domestic hub flying out of TOL flying the Burlington Air Express runs domestically to overseas runs for the miltary out of Dover,McGuire and Travis. Not to mention the ad hoc charters.They did a pretty good job in keeping the airplanes in decent shape, although the -63's we got from Kalitta left much to be desired in that regard. I had one precautionary engine shut down as a crewmember while I was there and not suprisingly it was on one of the Kalitta birds. I think they recently added some ex-Emery -73 Series aircraft to the fleet. Overall it wasn't a bad deal as far as non-skeds go. As a matter of fact I would venture to say it was one of the better ones out there,given what I know about that segment of the industry. Sometimes I kind of wish I were still there.......


PHXFLYR:cool:
 
Maybe I'm a little to nostalgic, but the chance to fly a DC-8 would bethe cat's a$$! The stretch -8 is one of the best lookingairplanes of all time, IMHO.
 
Interview?

Has anyone here received a call for an interview?
 
I emailed my resume on the 25th, at nite, got the application package the next day, returned it the 27th, got called for an interview on the 28th :D

If anyone has any kind of gouge on the interview process that would be great!

Pretty low. If I remember correctly the ad said 1500/500. Don't know what competitive is though. It's been a while since they've hired, so knowing what is competitive is kind of hard. I guess we'll see here in a few weeks when they start offering class dates.
 
I got an application on the 20th, and they had it by that Monday. I FedEx'ed the original... Still no word...

Carry that attitude to the interview and you'll be hired for sure, and make lots of friends as well. I also happen to agree with you, it's a very graceful-looking a/c in flight.
 
I noticed a few ATI's DC-8F's have been retrofitted with the newer engines while the combo's haven't. Is ATI going to upgrade the combo's to the newer engines?
 
Fax number won't do you any good! They don't want resumes unless they are advertising for FO's on their webpage. I called and spoke with the hiring dept. last week.

P.S. Good luck on your interview AlwaysLearning! Please be more careful who you request LOR's from next time!!!!

I think all 3 of us need to make a trip and refill his office with atmospheric containment devices (aka balloons)!
 
It needs to be stepped up a notch, especially after his comment about the checkrides!! Balloons would be letting him off too easy! It sounds like the other 1/3 took the job offer.

Oh gawd, Im peeing myself here! We should go with the original plan of packing peanuts then. I know some folks at UPS there in town, Im sure they could hook us up, my brother as an F250, plenty of room!

Yup, the eldest 1/3 took the job!
