Was the LCF guy J.R.??

Well It sounds like 10 guys/gals from here are heading to Giant.

Best of luck to all of you.

Atlas, you are getting some real good people.

One of the Evergreen guys had just finished -400 (LCF) training.

Looks like two newhire classes for the classic. Training staff just notified.

Looks like 3 LCF people are coming over now..

 

[tubineotter]

maybe five or more LCF guys and gals, today was not a good day for old evergreen, many resignations. but the old mans profit to payroll numbers look good

The bid for the classic are for what base? This bid is for when?

Any more bids for the -400?

 

[Zoneload]

Any Captains going?

 

[Rich Man]

What is the shcedule like in general, are there any options? I know seniority rules our lifes, but I'd like to know fact from fiction.

Also, what is life on reserve like?

What is the min days off, or how does the scheduling work?

Also, is there any website out there where I can take a look at the current contract?

Thanks for all the help.

Rich!

Any more bids for the -400?

This is from the latest bid award, 2010-3, released yesterday.

Looks like four slots in ANC for the Classic and four slots for the -400 in ANC, 1 in MIA, and JFK grew to 30 slots.

Current class has not gotten an award yet, so not sure what will be left for the next two classes. I know there are a couple SEA guys in the current newhire class that will pick up some of the -400 ANC slots.

Thanks Classicdriver for all the good info you provide on Atlas.

When are the next two classes and have they been filled?

Next interviews?

If hired can a pilot wait for the -400 or is he force into the classic?

Next class starts on the 17th of May. Do not know what has been filled.

Next interviews this week.

Last question, I have no idea. I would not be surprised, if you don't have any glass, that the offer would be classic or nothing.

You are dead on about Very high time getting hired today. Just got out of class with a similar operation and everbody in the the had LOTS of heavy iron time. The best part No regional guys are getting hired.

Dead on bro! Those regional pilots are just scum of the earth and total crap. Like we had a f^cking choice.

You obviously don't know anything about working for a non-sched/ACMI operator. I love it when new hire Regional guys come thru my office. They think they own the world- they are a hot******************** RJ captain after all. That usually lasts until the middle of their first trip. Then they realize that they are a very small fish in a giant ocean. It is a very humbling experience.

Don't get me wrong. I came from the regional world too. You will realize however, that going from say DEN-STL 3 times a day really isn't being a airline pilot.

You obviously forgot where you came from! What is your point? Just because I wasn't given the opportunity to fly something further and heavier than you I am a second class pilot? I am just damned because I fly a plane I really don't wanna fly? Like a had a f^cking choice! So how do you call the 9 drivers that fly in and out of MEM, DTW etc. Are they REAL pilots? Are you a REAL pilot because you fly a max of two sectors and get a max of two landings done a day? What makes you so special? Why were you allowed into the heavy club? You obviously flew RJs at a point, too.

You obviously don't know anything about working for a non-sched/ACMI operator.

Correct. I don't. Did you, when you came from the regionals? Have you flown contract on the other side of the Atlantic? What qualifies you over me at the time you got hired into a heavy? BA, LH, Cathay, EK, UAL etc. at a point hired RJ guys/ab initio into heavies. Now all of a sudden I am not good enough, eh? That makes a lot of sense.
