I guess everyone's situation is different, but it is difficult to see why a senior 74 FO would take 76 CA at our rates. Schedule goes to pot, very little raise, seat locked for 3 years, when you could have waited for the 74 and gotten it before that 3 years, thus possibly making more if considering scheduling opportunities, and efficiencies. The break even point on the 76 upgrade makes little sense unless 74 protracts out 4+ years over the 76.

Poolies
So a question for the other poolies floating around. I sent in an email to our contact person and have gotten no response regarding any upcoming questions. Has anyone else tried or gotten a reply, thanks.

3/23 - Interview
3/29 - Pool
No class date as of yet. I did tell them during the interview that I preferred the 767 but would take whatever aircraft they needed people in. They perked up when I said that. Maybe they knew about the Amazon thing back then and were secretly recruiting for the upcoming Amazon deal? In any case, I'm in no big rush to get a class date.

I don't mean to be a know it all, because I don't know much, but that's one thing I've looked hard into. A big misnomer around the atlas camp is that all seat locks go away if new aircraft come on property and that's not quite true.

Who knows why there are big -400 classes going on, but 767 classes will be fast and furious too, based on what I've heard.

Careful putting the cart ahead of the horse. Typical mamagement play books say to pump you up with great news like Amazon growth then leave you deflated as they send one airframe after another over to Florida West.
