polar air height req

[stillaboo2]

what's the upgrade time like @ Polar (classic or 400 if it matters)? Is it similar at Atlas?

 

[Xfr8dog]

How many planes does Polar/Atlas operate? How many are 200's and how many are 400's?

Tanks.

no one leaves tsa after their 1st year for polar. rj captains making $64 or more per hour are the ones leaving. thats where u have the difference in pay i was referring to.

ahhhh, and there you have a good part of the reason this industry is in such terrible condition for us pilots. A jet Captain flying around making $64 is a shame.

PS- a second year FO at Polar makes around $66 a believe.

Didn't want to sound like a jerk.
It just bothers me when people talk such crap about Atlas/Polar and they have no idea what they are talking about. They always quote a friend of a friend or someone like that. I've seen clueless postings about no short pilots, the wrong pay scale, 5 day commutes to STN and many other things!!! If you don't know don't post it, just ask it! I'm done, I feel better now!
Cheers!

I made $95,000 my first year as a 747 fo about 6 years ago. So how much are your RJ Captains making?

nowhere close to that! its not like i want to be here, just wating for a call

you guys have no sense of humor, but really all the guys i know that went to polar made less money their 1st year there, thats all.

But they now have girlfriends in ASIA, EUROPE, and SOUTH AMERICA. And, unfortunately, they also have SARS and AIDS. Have a great one.....

Wow... You flew the CASA 212... You must be a BIGGGG MAN!!!

What? Plenty. I was commenting that Polar or ATLAS guys could get their fill of foreign girlfriends, which could be good, but at the same time could be bad. Your Air Bubba remark shows your jealousy-----turned down at the interview, eh? I don't know about you, but I love my job.

Haha. Not jealous... I'm probably just kicking myself for turning down the Delta interview and deciding to stay at AA. By my nickname, you can see where that decision got me.



The "Air Bubba" thing just refers to the typical Delta pilot's international "radio techniques". It is an industry wide joke, not my invention. We can always tell when it is a Delta pilot on the radio overseas because of the southern drawl and lack of common ICAO phraseology. It's actually pretty entertaining.



Ya’ll be good now…ya hear?

Yeah, we have some senior "boys" from the South that talk weird, but not all of us. Sorry if I took it wrong. Take care and enjoy that 747----it must be fun.

I know 2 dudes from Trans States that went there last fall were both short f*cks about 64 inches tall.

Might want to adjust your glasses there, Reebo, I know one of those short f*cks you are referring to and he's over 5'-4".
