Clyde,
I don't really care about this thread in particular, but to make a sweeping generalization about a company because you know one guy in a newhire class at a night freight company is ignorance, industrial strength.
Why would someone do it? There are about an infinite amount of answers. I know a newhire here who left night freight and has only a few years before retirement. Why? Ask him.
Left turn.

Clyde,

Actually 2 people from my class left, the UPS guy and another to SWA. They both had things in the works when they took the job at AirTran, so the writing was on the wall that they would leave when called by their new loves. It was probably an easy choice for them as AirTran wasn't their first choice to begin with and they had about 6 months on the job so they didn't give up a great seniority number. Also if AirTran wasn't their first choice then it was best for all that they moved on where they will be happy! They just gave 2 more guys/gals who really want the job the chance to come on down!

You know, I get really tired of people bad mouthing my airline when they know nothing about it. I can't speak to what motivates others to pursue another airline, or quit after six months. To each his own. I came here a little over four years ago and found a home. I enjoy those I work with. We have a fine group of people here. I have few complaints.

To all of those who look down on AirTran, by all means stay away. Stay far away. I don't want you here. If you like, if you feel so strongly that you are so superior, and would never stoop to applying here, you may send me your names by PM, and I will personally make sure that you are never called for an interview.

Good luck in all of your endeavors.

Vabb, you are one of about 7 or 8 guys who come out to bash AirTran, but you won't say where you work. Why don't you put your hair piece on and take your corvette for a drive shorty.

P.S. You will need to get some new material soon, that scab stuff won't apply for much longer.

Are you also able to walk on water?

Where do I work? I'm not going to say. Do you know why?

VABB: "I fly for XYZ airlines."

fletch717: "Oh no you don't, you're just saying that."

You are just some worthless loser pilot and the best you could do was get on with AirTran.

Just for the record, my airplane is quite larger than yours, as is my W2 earnings. What I make as a 4th year f/o is at least as much as your top captains pay.

Regarding the new material, is the Everglades stuff still acceptable? AirTran=ValueJet.

I'll pass this on to your customers.

Yawn.

Yeah, and I bet your Dad could beat up my Dad. Big deal, my Mom beat up my Dad all the time.

Yeah thats acceptable for someone, someone who knows absolutely nothing about aviation. So in that respect you should use it all the time.

by the way the highest paying 4th year fo pay of all US airlines is Northwest 747FO 133.00 Hr, which is a little less than 9 year Capt at AirTran.

I've seen a lot of morons on here, but you sir, take the f-ing cake. Yeah, that's funny stuff right there. Yeah, your plane may be bigger, but I guarantee you my crank is -- And I'm still able to avoid stepping on mine like you do! JACKASS!

Your airplane is bigger than mine? are you kidding me? I was just trying to be funny with the hair piece and corvette comment, but it really is true.

I may not make as much as you there shorty, but when I fly it's in the left seat.

Well said. Hoping to move down the concourse soon.

VABB probably does work for NWA. They are the all time winners when it comes to blaming Air Tran pilots (among other LCC pilots ) for their own shortcomings. Before that it was SWA. Before that, who knows. But the Northwest pilots just love to blame others for their failures.

It takes a really big man to talk down others while hiding behind his fake name. It takes an even bigger man to think his big jet and big paycheck define who he is. Yep, a real big man.

"airtran
What's the trick to getting a call from Airtran? I have every requirement more than met. What have some of you that have been called done? I have over 7000 hours, been a captain at a 121 carrier, etc."

Buckeyes95 –

- Make sure you actually have an online application (you’ll be surprised how many “can’t seem to get a call” but forget to apply)

- Attend all job fairs you can think of (and can afford – yes it’s expensive), (AirIc, military to civilian transitions, etc.)

- Network, network, network!!! Try to get many letters of recommendations from current AT pilots. (1 good LoR is better than 10 very generic ones)

Have your friends follow up on you status with S.G. in the recruiting department (email or call her, they know how to get hold of her)

Most importantly – Do Not Give Up!

Keep trying - if you’re persistent, it’ll happen – good luck to you, av80r
