Jumped on ATLAS less than a week ago. They said to expect hiring next year.

Looks like Atlas is going to operate the classics thru the end of 2010. Two are in heavy checks.

Good info

Here's a link to an article concerning Atlas Air from the October issue of Air Transport World. It seems that Atlas is as well positioned to take advantage of any recovery as anyone out there.

Word from a friend working there is that they should be adding something like 7 airframes in 2010 and will hopefully be hiring around May or so.

 

[Classicdriver]

Your "Friend" is either blowing somke or very high up, because that ain't even a rumor at Atlas.

 

[Talon757]

As Paul Harvey used to say, "Stand by for.... News!"

I think things may be looking up.

 

[jetjock6]

I'm not sure all the rumors together would equal 7 airframes. But I admire the optimism.

since they closed STN have all the AABO/AACS folks been "made redundant" as they put it over there.

used to work there and basically quit because of the no travel to stn issue, but lucky for me, they changed it right after i left.

would like to get back maybe, been talking to D.B in puzzle palace and it was said no hiring for a year or more. due no attrition and people still out on furlough, made it sound like as soon as they fixed STN issue the revolving door just stopped and no one leaves now.

this is from nov/09 info

Does any of you Atlas or Polar drivers know what is going to happen to the hiring pool? I would assume their going to flush it!

Thanks in advance.

 

[treetopflyer]

hr made it sound like they would offer employment to the swimmers in the pool.

 

[Talon757]

That's how I read it, Treetop. Sounds like perhaps toward the end of first quarter there may be some movement. Standing by the phone!

 

[Classicdriver]

I would have your resume up to date. word is we(polar) will add 2 more 400`s to take us to 8. 10 captain upgrades starting after new year. you could see the resume window open here soon. hope it helps..

So, what is the latest? Any upgrades, and any leads on where the planes are coming from?

Is Atlas still considered the best place to be considered the lowest paid 747 driver in the world?

I know you're just "stirring the pot" but, Umm no, that would be World or Southern.

Now Southern is the lowest paid B777 operator in the world. time in type time to punch out.

Is it true that Atlas will have Angolan Nationals as part of the required flight crew for Sonair?

 

[Classicdriver]

is it true that atlas will have angolan nationals as part of the required flight crew for sonair?

nope!

 

[jetjock6]

Is it true that Atlas will have Angolan Nationals as part of the required flight crew for Sonair?

Atlas was able to circumnavigate that issue through naturalization.

Hi!

There are a couple of other 747 operators that pay less than Atlas. I think Atlas is actually the best paid American 747 operator. I personally think the compensation and work schedules are very good.
