Ameristar to buy 747's

[heilhaavir]

Correct Junk, 921's gone and 920's still waiting to find a new home. 858 (-100) should be going to the Can although wouldn't be surprised to see Connie fly it (all 3 are Pratts)
The 5 GE's (4 -200s and 1 -300) definitely don't belong to AAWH and are up for sale (SpeedNews 05/05/06 and thereafter) and I really don't think they will show up @ Atlas (I think 355 will go first :beer: ), but I could been wrong. I actually think that around the end of the year or very beginning of next year we'll see some Classics, on the Atlas side, appear on the market too, but that's just my take...

Hi!

USA Jet doesn't outsource any of it's training, unless you count paying someone else for sim time.

Sorry, but I have my sources too and just checked them. There's no validity or truth to your flamebait. Nice try though. Actually it wasn't a nice try.

The fact that half of your total posts are on this one thread is a dead giveaway.

I have some Chuck Norris facts I can give you that have more validity than any one of your posts on this thread.

What model 747's are they? And why is Polar ground theirs?

Is $130K for 747 cargo good? To me it seems like a Captain should be paid a lot more then that for flying that big bird. I know it's not the airlines, but still.

Yeah, I'll believe this when my $hit turns purple and tastes like rainbow sherbert.

Guess what? I watched my boy get borne last night... His ********************... oh, never mind!

$130k? Not hardly.

Check out the yearly pay for a 5 yr Captain (flying guarantee) at some of the well-known 747 cargo operators:

Atlas $106,392
Polar $ 93,600
Southern $ 80,640
Kalitta $ 80,520
Tradewinds $ 77,760
Evergreen $ 70,200

Most have no retirement, and a few just a small 401k match.

Polar is furloughing and Tradewinds has a bunch of crews on furlough.

You can only do marginally better than flying a commuter RJ and get treated about the same by the company.

In writing = LOL

Hi!

Draginass:

That must be their base pay. Last year at Kalitta the FOs were making about $70k.

Fly Safe!
