ATA-May Interviews...

[Capt America]

ATA has been a great place to work for years and now with thier new contract and new airplanes it is a great place to work. It has been where I wanted to be before the industry was in the mess that it is in now. Many guys from other airlines have seemed to always look down on them but I know tons of people that work there some of them have been there from the begining. This airline is way underated by the average pilot at other airlines.

Hopefully my interview goes well.

Just curious, anyone know what the junior base is? How long does reserve usually last? Upgrade time? When are the L10's going away? (I'd love to fly one if I ever got on with ATA)

I believe that most of the newhires have been going to MDW. And it appears that 75% of htem are going into the 757.

As for being on reserve, if we keep hiring, you won't have to be on reserve at all. Pilots are finishing up IOE and holding regular lines.

When will the L1011 be replaced? There's a lot of rumors that ATA will replace them with 767s. Management has confessed that they have looked into this possibility but stated that it wouldn't make economic sense right now. Doesn't mean that it won't happen in the near future. Good Luck.

[Uh Oh...]

Great bunch of folks out there in IND!

I just interviewed yesterday in IND and I can't say enough great things about the people of ATA. I hope to hear something in a week!

Fly Safe!

Uh Oh...

P.S. They plan on more hiring soon!

We have been told that ATA plans to hire as many pilots as their training dept can handle until the end of the year, then re-evaluate.

Upgrades in our class have been here for 5 years.
