Polar New Hire Class

FYI,

Polar just started a 400 new hire class on 3/24. I know someone in the class who interviewed in December. He told me they asked him to report on short notice (less than a week) and although his sequence in the pool was low, he was hired because he could report to training immediately. This happened to me also. I was low in the pool but was able to report to training on 4 days notice so I was hired.

Also, I interviewed in July and started in September so I'm not sure why anyone would be in the pool that long. There were also several classes in the classic/400 that started after me.

If you've been in the pool since July, perhaps your information has been misplaced. Polar has moved their headquarters from Long Beach to Purchase, NY so maybe your status has been overlooked as a result of the move.

Good Luck, N984TW

N984TW,

Did you have to resign your seniority number? Are there any other furloughees in your class? Thanks

 

[N984TW]

Virtually everyone hired by Polar in the past year has been furloughed. In my new hire class, 7 out of 8 people were furloughees. Polar is very receptive toward furloughed pilots because the turbojet experience generally dictates success during IOE.

The "official" policy toward furloughees is that a letter of resignation to the prior employer is submitted upon completion of IOE.

Does anyone have the name, number or email for the new pilot recruiter? If not the Chief Pilot will work fine. Thanks.

Maybe you better look at www.atlasair.com before you start sending those resumes. Look in the press releases for the Atlas Worldwide Holdings.

Is there any whipsaw between Polar and Atlas pilot groups? Which has the better contract?

What (if any) is the quality of life like? (Perfect for single guys, imminent divorce for married types?)

Pay scales?
