Any "Latest & Greatest" About Atlas?

[Microclimates]

Hello Atlas ladies and gents

I am hoping to hitch a ride with you on qf7558 in a couple of days. am listed and all, and was hoping that someone here could give me a contact number for the handler in HNL, to make sure I am at the right place at the right time... I've done it once before but it was years ago and have lost the info I had collected... thanks for the help!

oops..I just noticed the date on the referenced quote and obviously the trip has long been over and done. Since there appears to be no 'delete' function I'll just put in this apology for not checking that before!

It looks like two more 777 freighters for AAWW.

"In addition, we are executing a strategic plan that leverages our core competencies. In July, we acquired our second and third 777 freighters for our Dry Leasing business. Each of our 777s was acquired with a long-term customer lease in place with a leading operator in the airfreight industry. These investments enhance our position in an attractive aircraft type, and they generate predictable, long-term revenue and earnings streams."

Do you know anything about the chatter on other forums about the new class of 10 and the negative side of being heavy on pilots, it's just really crazy for us in the pool to see that, they told us there would be no new classes over the summer, but summer is almost over and that would just suck btw

If were heavy on pilots, I'd like to know where they're hiding....I have just done a week with pretty much just 15-18 hours of rest at each stop and am flying every day while scheduling is still trying to cram more flying in there.... this was the story last month as well...

What kind of credit are hitting for the month?

What kind of credit are hitting for the month?

Last month 89 hours. This month I am only in week 1 and will hit over 40 after tonights jaunt.....off for a week then will be back to see if I hit OT...

We're overstaffed on the 767. Haven't gone much over guarantee in months. Even if awarded a full 17-day line, you typically get sent home around day 14 or so. Earlier in the year, 747 flying was down 1,000 hours from plan. It's supposed to pick back up beginning in October. Glad to hear y'all are busy on that side of the house.

 

[captainv]

Well, there you go.

App window is open, hearing a class of 10 for the 747, interviews in mid-September.
