Question for Atlas Pilots

[shon7]

Are trips assigned or do you bid on them.

Also, if say a junior officer is stuck with a schedule where he is flying from U.S. to Hong Kong on one leg and then from Italy to U.S. -- does the officer ride as a jumpseater with carriers or fly commercial -- to get to Italy.

Finally, when an officer does fly commercial -- do they fly you business or economy?

Trips are bid using a preferential bidding system. You can bid for trips or bid for days off. As far as deadheading, if the company has a freighter going to the same place they need you, you may be deadheaded on company aircraft, otherwise you will be sent commercial. Deadheading commercially your ticket will be business class or better unless there are only coach seats available, in which case you will be compensated $300.

WHY IS THIS UNDER MAJOR AIRLINES???? Since when is Atlas a major?

Try switching to De-caf.

Atlas doesn;t quite fit under the "Regional" category, either. Nor does it fit in "Fractional" "Corporate" or "Crashpad".

 

[Mr.Aviation]
