Sad to hear. The 8's are great airplanes. Stil plenty of work for them.

Does ATI fly 71's 73's or both?

That's just great. The guy is talking about "people" losing their jobs and the only responses are those concerned with the airplanes they flew. Sheeeze!

sardinesnack,
Good luck on your new job search! Hope something better comes along.

How many pilots are getting furlough? That's too bad, it seems like a good group of guys. Good luck to all of you.

Come on man...cool yer jets. I don't know about the other guy, but maybe he was thinking like I was that maybe somebody'd pick up the aircraft and crews and things would turn around. Granted, there's no "Good Luck to all." message there, but no need to cast aspersions on the statement. There's enough rankor here without that.

Welcome to the brave new world on flight info, where everybody thinks your an a$$, except when you see them face to face.

They fly 62's 63's 71's 72's, and I think a few 73's. I worked there about 8 years ago, so I might be a little off.

Sorry to hear that for my friends at ATI.

I was furloughed from ATI Jan. 01 so those fine folks have my best wishes. ATI was not a bad place to work and when Jeff Nauman was the Dir of Trng. that dept. was second to none. Still the best run trng dept. I've seen was his. I hope those folks land on thier feet........

To clarify my statement, them means the people and the planes.

Sorry to hear this for the folks at ATI. I actually enjoyed flying for them until I was furloughed in 01. They recalled me a few months later, and I am glad I didn't go back.

You are right about Jeff, I hear he went to Omni and runs their training department. I learned more about flying at ATI than anywhere else I ever worked.

Yes he is at OMNI and from what I hear doing a great job there too. Several from ATI are now in MGMT/Checks at OMNI so maybe the ATI guys can get picked up there or elsewhere. ATI was a great group of folks and I just wished thier MGMT would quit jerking these guys around.

Are they closing the doors or just cutting back?

Semi official word is that we are going to return 4 aircraft to the lesasor as they have a buyer for them in Chile. Also they are going to furlough 24 crews. The chief pilot says don't expect these to be temporary furloughs. Personally, having been with ATI for 9 years, I think it's going down the toilet. Since Peter Fox, the guy who owns Capital Cargo, bought us, it has has been a downward spiral. This used be the best place I've ever worked, and I've worked at some bottom feeders, now it's just getting to be a downright crappy place to work. 5 engineers and 3 fo will be furloughed as of sept 23. 5 capts will be downgraded at that time. The rest of the furloughs/downgrades are expected to coincide with the end of the current bid cycle which is october 24th. Of course management hasn't come out with anything. These tidbits of information have all come from our new chief pilot, who I believe is feeling alittle bit guilty. As he was a junior FO WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN FURLOUGHED!!! With 9years senority I expect to be furloughed, some people with 12+ years are to be furloughed! All of this is coming from a company that made 8 MILLION DOLLARS in profit in the first quarter of 2006. Makes one wonder WTF has happened. We have plenty of business, ad hoc charter business is real good. So WTF??? Any way if Peter Fox ever shows any interest in your airline, take your money and run. If any body has any leads for a PFE job I would really appreciate it. John
