BAX for sale.... What happens to ATI?

[Master Shake]

Hey Feathersword, where've you been. You had me laughing so hard with your previous posts...but then the laughter died.

Nice to see you're still swimming around.

"honks on Bobo"...classic!

CCIA recently washed a lass out of training that had 4000 hours, no big airplane time, and had only flown single pilot!! Do you starcheckdriver still think you can make it through training with your 208 time?? Seems to the ol' capn you may just consign yourself to davey jonses locker!! Good luck!!

Well, if I had interviewed and been offered a training date at CCIA, maybe I would be worried. But, I have had neither of the above happen, so I am feeling okay about it! Not to worry, I am flying the Lear 35 in a two pilot cockpit beginning July 5. So, hopefully that will help me with the training at Capital if and when I get a slot there.

You ain't missin a thang bro. If you enjoy signing your life away at the tune of $15grand for a training contract (with no 727 type) then good on ya. But it ain't worth it. I stand corrected if this isn't the case anymore, but if it is it is raWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Cheese and Sausage, ain't that what's on the menu at the hub on Monday?

I hope BAX(and we Cappyites) make it through this, guess we're gonna have to get on all that DHL flying(sorry guys, I couldn't resist).

Hope things work out for you guys at Cappy my man. Let me know when you're a seven 2 CA. You can buy me that long deserved round of brewskies. I've got the perfect place in TOL to grab a couple.

Does CCIA require a training agreement for new hires? If so, how long is it? This wouldn't surprise me since most 121 regionals are requiring an agreement and of course you are not guaranteed a type rating there either.

Last I heard ...

Cappi had a 2 year / 15K plan. Pro-rated / month.

After 1 year = $7500 ...

I guesss to keep low timers from grabbing a few hundred hours jet time and jumping ship. Not really sure the reason, but others are doing it.

I think World had a 20k plan. Amerijet does too I think.

It beats 'pay for training'. Truth is, most carriers just pay poop for the first year to recoupe training costs ... it all works out to be the same in the end ...

If anyone knows of others ... toss it out ...

If and when matie?? I thought you knew Petie Foxx personally!!

So let me get this straight?? Your going to have airnet spend money to train you on another airplane, then jump ship right after that to fly for Cappy?? Me parrot says your about as usefull as barnicle on the hull of the HMS Feathersword!!

Shiver me timbers, I hope you got a great insider, a short call to extension five would take care of you!! AAARRRRGGGGG!!

Well, my sources tell me that there won't be any jumping ship to Cappy anytime soon. I understand there will not be a FO class for 3-4 months minimum. Also, we are going under the assumption that I will survive the interview and be offered a class. Knowing Peter Fox just got my resume in the door. Beyond that, I assume it is up to me to make it through an interview and training. What is extension five?

Back to the thread topic, what's going to happen to ATI? I see they're advertising for F/O's.

Thanks

Peace

Ati..

We at ATI were caught off guard also. We are in the process or hiring 8 FO's and I don't know where they will come from. During our last contract the PFE's got 20k to get licenses and upgrade. 10 or so have done it. But we recently got a new CP and he is not waving the 750 min to upgrade from Switch Biatch to Bird Deflector. We have 4 combi's that keep busy in the Pacific and the east coast for AMC and the other 70's in the BAX operation. Only time will tell what happens. The big question is who will buy BAX and will ATI come with it. In the past, Brinks tried really hard to tell us we are a separate entity from BAX but from the article on TWSJ said BAX had a fleet of 18 airplanes and that's what we have.
