Polar & Atlas Situation Update - Merging List? Hiring at Either?

[Rhoid]

A left over from the FedEx acquisition of Flying Tigers, now on lease to someone who flies 747's. That airplane might even be an old Seaboard bird. They were the first to operate a dedicated Cargo 747. My father flew it when it was new.

~~~^~~~

Sorry pal, you are wrong with your assumption. FedEx leases Atlas 747s to fly certain routes. I've personally seen Atlas 747s at ANC with the small FedEx logo parked at the FedEx facility there.

Stick to your RJDC crap and hopefully for you, ASA will soon be flying 747s! at RJ rates!

Just make sure you have somebody else write your cover letter.

I see a Lear 25 in your profile. My guess is you're one of those institutional FO's at some mom & pop 135 operator whose flying skills are so non-existent and ego so inflated that the PIC's don't even let you fly on the empty legs. Am I right?

Hey moderators, when the levity of this moron wears thin, can you please ban him?

I've met a lot of ATR drivers (some Co-ex, most ASA) via the jumpseat. Some of the best folks in the biz. EVERY crew welcomed me as I was an old pal.
So, fun with the ATR, I bet they've had tons. (72 two FA's).

Daveman,
Almost 6 yrs on the ATR-72 and had a great time with it!! 2 F/A's too!!
Just hit the ignore button for roid. My money says with his attitude and ego I won't worry about him at a major!
Have a good holiday also!!

 

[Daveman]

Have a good holiday also!!

Same to ya'. And thanks again for the lift. (Many times) ATL-!
Last flight.

SkyRhoid,

There are good commuter jobs out there. However with you pi$$-poor attitude, I don't think that you will ever have to worry about "turning down" a position with a reputable flight department, whether it be corporate, cargo , or airline. It's time to grow up and behave like an adult.

Whateva Rhoid.........

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

What kind of time were Polar/Atlas looking for when they were about to start hiring?


Easy now, Rhoid. That kind of attitude will keep you in the corporate mailing tube for the rest of your days- if not in the "FIRED" file...not that the lear is a bad airplane..but you do want to go someplace else.

We all think we are the best- we are pilots, afterall... show it by being laid back, standard, and smart...not in displaying a supersized ego.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

roid - which I believe is short for a problem I DON'T have. You? ' If I am not mistaken, anyway thanks for the PM! Commuter boy, is that how you referred to me? Know what? At the present time, yes I happen to fly for what you mistake is a commuter airline. It is actually a national carrier...check the government statistics, all over the US, Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas. Yep, employed, flying, PIC, jet, larger than a 'Lear', pretty good QOL, always could be better, that could be said for any job, great bunch of pilots I fly with.

So, how's it going with your job?

 

[hawkerjet]

take it easy francis

getting back to the atlas polar thread..... i heard from a friend of a friend that hiring is on hold for a while ( don't know what a while means ) while they are re-aligning bases. for those of you who knows what that means feel free to shed some light for those of us that don't know what that means.

 

[waazzuuuup!!]

That is incorrect.

Polar will be hiring 30 F/O 's real soon as anounced by the chief pilot yesterday.

Good luck to whoever is trying to get a job here

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Classic or 400?

 

[BusterHymen]

Atlas Air Hiring

It was also recently announced that we'll be hiring at Atlas, they say could be as much as 50 new pilots and engineers, just don't know exactly when

 

[Whale Rider]

Classic or 400?

Pretty sure all classic.......there's quit a few waiting for the -400 on standing bid.

 

[Fuzzy]

There will be only one certificate and that is Polar. Right now Atlas is flying a whole Polar freight, with the exception of China, Korea, and Japan. We are Atlas's best customer.
The list are supposed to be merged by next year but don't bet on it. There is a lot of difference in the contracts and QOL is at the top of Poalr's list. Ours is great and we will not give it up.and we have a date of hire senioroty system, not seat like Atlas and the MEC will fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.
