I recently heard that ATI may soon be hiring additional DC-8 crews. The reason given was that they have recently signed a new contract with BAX. At least five more years of DC-8 operations and possibly additional DC-8s.
Can anyone confirm the rumor?
Thanks!
May be a little out of date, but I understand that any pilot hiring we expect should be coming from ABX furloughees for some time to come. Capitol is under the same agreement, but last I heard, they were able to hire off the street as there was a shortage of displaced ABX takers. We have had a recent class of PFEs and there was a very recent (like last week or so) release of an opening for perhaps 5 more PFEs. I know ABX had some PFEs on their list from years back when they operated DC-8s, but I don't know if there are any left that would come under the agreement. We don't, or at least haven't, hired any second officers. All panel operators at ATI are A&P licensed engineers.
I have heard rumors of an atypical longer term BAX/Schenker contract and possibly more DC-8s, I'll believe it when they're here... but I sure hope so!
Best of luck
