Atlas QOL

[johnsonrod]

Not big on heard form a friend of a friend kind of info. Call us when you have first hand experience

Thanks dumba$$. I have friends in high places at Delta - evidently you don't. Check out the Delta threads on the majors board for confirmation. Drop the attitude - I am just trying to provide some helpful advice for those who don't want 21-day tours.

This board would lose it's entertainment value without the attitudes.

Isn't that a Garth Brooks song? "I have Friends in High Places"..........oh, wait a minute...

No attitude Mr Grumpy Pants. Just not big on hearsay - If you like Delta that's fine - most people do. If you don't like Atlas - that's also fine. But don't compare the two. Hint Hint they aren't the same. In case you have forgotten this is a Cargo thread about Atlas. Have a beer..... Chill.........breathe....relax This conversation would be better at the bar anyway. Peace brother

Atlas Rocks!! Only been here a short time but it's my 2nd AMCI and I'm havin a great time!! AMCI is great, show up to work and off you go to wherever whenever around the world!!

Don't get me wrong, I think Atlas is a great option. I've always been a fan and wanted to fly the whale worldwide. I am just trying to suggest other alternative for those people who might not be able to handle the 21 day tours.

Back to our cargo-oriented programming...

I'm doing 18 day rosters now and I have to say that it isn't as bad as I envisioned before I started and the only 5' , 105 lbs. person that I have ever feared seem happy with the life style, but then again the direct deposit amount has a lot to do with it

Hi!

You have 17 days on and the rest of the month off. They can make you work through 21, but they have to pay a LOT for those 4 days.
Theoretically, you may get 34 days on in a row. Some guys want that so they have between 25-29 days off (the two months of days off combined), so they can do a 3 week vacation.
I'm not sure if you are on 34 days on, if they can extend you four more days?
If you ASK to be extended, and they need you, you will make more money.
One guy was TDY to Europe for a month (based in a hotel), and his wife flew out for that time...family travel benefits with DAL, was what I was told.

PS-I think it is a FANTASTIC job! If you want 4/3, or you want to know your scheduled of flying ahead of time, FORGET it!

Hey Cliff,

It sounds like if all comes together the way they want it to, World Airways MIGHT be hiring before the end of the year. You sound like the perfect candidate, attitude wise, for World.

[atpcliff]

Hi!

I WILL be applying at World, if they are hiring, and it is a better job than the one I have. I think World is a very nice job. LUV the home basing!

What kind of schedules do they work out of the HSV base?

 

[Classicdriver]

HSV-STN-LUX, rest 28 hours, LUX-HSV, rest 26 hours, HSV-MEX-GDL-HSV. Doing some Joeburg trips as well out of LUX.

Doesn't sound too bad. How much time off between turns in HSV? I live 20 minutes from the airport and this sounds like it would be a good job to have.

Thanks for the info!
