I can't remember exactly what the mins were, 1500 I think. But I know there were several at the interview that had between 2000 and 3000. I would guess that you are ok. Although they could change things when they start hiring again. They do like the peeps who have been slogging it out shooting approaches for a living. From the comments when I got the call, the sim eval carries some weight, so the freight dogs can shine.
Good luck -batfish

Do they require the fe written? I believe I read that they have pfe's but was curious if I still needed the written. Thanks. Oh, do you need an inside rec to make any progress with the ap?
No FE written needed. They have all PFE's currently. I don't know if the rec is required, but it doesn't hurt. I think only a couple (including me), had one with the last round. Good luck! -batfish

Our only real busy time is when we support peak operations for UPS lately, USPS years back. That's only short term work. We don't do Hajj or anything like that, so busy times are really dependent on BAX freight loads. Typically, things are a bit slower in the Jan-Mar time frame than the rest of the year, but that's not a given. Long term military contracts have been drying up as they start using in-house assets as opposed to contractors in the narrow-body sectors, and charters are always hit or miss.
Furloughs have unfortunately been an ugly part of our picture. We had a massive three-tiered layoff that started in 2000 and extended into 2001 before they recalled, then another in 2004, and yet another multi-tiered one in 2006. These aren't seasonal furloughs ala Evergreen or Tower of yore. Each had their own set of events that drove them, the most recent being a change of ownership and loss of some military flying. A lot of good people got screwed in these "business plans", but I have to admit that each time, the company seems to have come out smaller but stronger, at least in some respects. The last furlough is just ending and now we have new hire classes scheduled. Hope the new folks don't get to experience the bad side of our history.

My prep tips....
1. Learn to sleep during the day, as you will be "Working the Back Side of the Clock" for the foreseeable future. (Forget anything you have heard about "Circadian Rhythm" It's a myth.)
2. Start thinking of the "Wheel of Death" at your local FBO as catering! Bottled water is like a fine wine!
3. When you see a Red Roof Inn, think 4-Star Hotel (although ours hotels are better than most)
And remember the Freight Dog Motto:
Sleep when your tired! (normally 24 hours a day)
Eat when your hungry! (Or when you see free food)
Drink when you can! (gotta love weekend layovers)
See ya out on the line......

Mr Sky need to do more international flying - if so, he'd realize that we have Wheel of Death quality catering brought straight to the jet, i.e. no loitering or creeping out of FBO cuties necessary on such runs

It is my understanding that we are not accepting resumes at the moment. Visit www.airtransport.cc employment page for updates. Based on my impression of the backgrounds of our recent new hires, I'd say you'll at least be competitive. Bring your avatar to the interview and you're a shoe-in:laugh:. OK, maybe wait to show it to your interviewers AFTER your first PC here...

So whats the deal with pay at ATI? You guys dont seem to be on par with other heavies. Plus I heard an ATI crew in SJC saying that the company was wanting to ditch your current insurance and cut your pay and take away your 401. I guess the owner had been to the hub and told everyone that. Thats pretty tough, was this someone from ABX?

Pay's been stuck where the contract left it three years ago, for those over with over 12 years of service. Only anniversary increases (a few bucks an hour) for those under 12. Insurance has been messed with, and we're taking action to undo what has been done. 401(k) should be safe as it is. I think that story may have something to do with our boss (who's now middle management under the new umbrella....) telling us we had a pension plan in the last attempt at a group hug. We don't.
Our closest competition business-wise over the years has always been Emery (RIP), then DHL, then ABX, and finally to a lesser extent, Kitty Hawk (also RIP). Our overall pay package has been considerably less than DHL/Astar, ABX, and Emery, but better than Kitty Hawk. We don't can't won't compete with UPS or FedEx. The company seemed to think during negotiations years back that our competition was Southern, Kalitta, Gemini, World, etc, even though they really do different stuff. So, like everything else in this industry, how our pay measures up against others really depends on who you ask. We've made money, LOTS of money, year after year, but the company has consistently cried over how they can't afford us. We know otherwise and are working toward a better end, which when successful, should help keep dear ol' dad from pitting his kids against each other. Can't speak for how things are at Cappy. Hope I'm on the right track with all that, anyway...
