I've heard it thru the grapevine that there is a 737 class starting on Sept 16 and then a L-1011 class starting Oct 7. This is subject to change, of course.
It's important to remember that ATA also got significant improvement in other parts of the contract as well. I won't list them all but one that I really like is the company funded retirement plan where they put in an amount equal to a certain percentage of your earnings each year. In the first year of the plan it starts at 4% of earnings for those with less than six years service but in the latter years of the contract it grows to 5.5% with less than 6 years, 7.5% for 6 to 12 years, and 12% if you have over 12 years of service. That combined with the 401K where the company matches at 60% your first 6% of pay can make for a decent nest egg. Not a Fed Ex nest egg mind you but decent. Other areas such as per diem, deadheading credit, max duty days, etc. were all significantly improved as well. So the whole answer is, yes the pay is now decent too (well, not 1st year) but many other rules make ATA an even happier place to be!! Guess I'm sipping the palm tree juice!
