Good news! This might lead to some interesting flying with some sports teams/celebrities and it certainly breaks up some of the more routine DHL flying for the 767 crews....





Atlas Air to operate a Boeing 767-200 for MLW Air

By Bruce Drum on June 21, 2013 | Leave a Comment



See 767 picture here:




Atlas Air (New York) has signed an agreement to operate a VIP-configured Boeing 767-200 passenger aircraft in CMI service for MLW Air, LLC. Flights are expected to commence this summer.


Under the new CMI (Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) agreement, Atlas Air will operate MLW Air's unique, all-first class, 102-seat Boeing aircraft, extending Atlas Air's innovative CMI service solution and its growing 767 aircraft platform into very high-end passenger transport. The flights will be marketed as charters to sports teams, entertainers and other high-profile users.


MLW Air's Boeing 767-277 N767MW (msn 22694) is the only all-first class 767 commercial charter aircraft with worldwide operations registered with the Federal Aviation Administration. The dual-aisle plane features first class seats with 60-inch pitch (the distance between a row of seats) in a two-by-two-by-two configuration. The seats recline to 156 degrees for maximum comfort and come with adjustable head and foot rests. The plane is ideal to meet the needs of heads of state, celebrities, diplomats, professional sports teams, entertainers, private parties, tour groups and other charter needs. The client list includes the Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks and such entertainers as Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones and Beyonc?.


Atlas Air currently operates 10 Boeing 767s, including three passenger aircraft and seven freighters. Its modern, efficient fleet also includes two VIP-configured Boeing 747-400 passenger aircraft, 37Boeing 747 freighters and a recently acquired Boeing 777 freighter.

Hang with Beyonce and the Mavericks one week and then fly packages for DHL the next. Now that's good variety.... :cool:

Not entirely a true statement. The 777 is NOT operated by Atlas it is owned by Titan leasing and leased to Aerologic of Germany.
 
the mlw airplane has its own pilot group and own pay scales. MLW needs a 121 certificate to put the airplane on.
 
yes once in a while you guys will fly it. Swift did the same thing. They did OEs and Extra support, it will happen. Unless they laid off all the MLW guys (which i doubt it)
 
My guess is that the seniority provisions of the Atlas Air Pilots collective bargaining agreement would restrict all flying to Atlas Air pilots.
