C17trap I tried to email you, however received an undeliverable message. Please confirm your email. Thanks!

First three are dedicated to AMC for passenger ops worldwide. Beyond that, you need to have the secret decoder ring...

First year pay scale is the same as the B747...$75 per hour for a 50 hour guaranty. Starting the second year, it is about 14% less than the B747.

However, in this job market, if offered a class date, and assuming you really want to be here...are you going to turn it down because of that? Probably not, right?

I was happy to see his question asked and answered. I assume the 767 pay will be good enough to live on, but I hoped to find out for sure before I get fully involved in the application process. From what I've read about Atlas, I wouldn't say no to anything they offered, but even in today's job market there are positions I would not consider--for now. Who knows, after a few years of living on my Wal-mart greeter pay, that pay-your-own-way aviation cadet "job" at Cathay might look great :-)

Nope! Thanks. Just curious.

The other thing to consider is that our new CBA might have more specific pay rates. However, implementation of the new CBA is in the arbitrator's hands...when he renders a decision on the remaining items, it can be signed and put into effect.

Good luck.

I'd take the 767 in a heartbeat but would really prefer the 747 because I live in base. Almost certain the 767 WONT go to HSV.... But, just getting on with Atlas in any capacity would be awesome. Interview on the 15th, and really hitting the books!!!

Does anybody know what percentage they hire from the interviews? I know fedex was near 20% for a while there...

If I get the job I'd also plan to live in base. What are the planned bases for the 76? If primarily used for mil ops, maybe different than the current 74 bases?

76 is only JFK based, at least for now. As said they will be dedicated to military pax, so the live troop movement flights could be from literally any military base. However, the entitlement award AMC passenger (mostly families) flights leave the US from BWI, ATL, DFW, LAX among others.

Still need that secret decoder ring and I have never even seen one.

The basing issue has been touched on before but is still a big question mark for me because the idea of having a say in where you live is completely new to me. Bear in mind that I went straight from home to the military, meaning I've never had the option to choose where to live.

With the pre-amble out of the way, can a current employee give some advice based on the following scenarios? I realize there are some big IFs in there, but in the interest of narrowing the discussion I have to make some assumptions.

#1 - I get hired, based in JFK, choose to live close to LIT. I always request to stay out 17 days in a row. How does my work period start if my first leg is from JFK to somewhere? What about WRI? What about FRA? How does my work period end if the last mission terminates in JFK? In FRA? Will I ever be required to spend reserve time in JFK? If so, how do I get there and do I pay for my own lodging? What happens if a mission during my 17-day window passes through LIT or JFK?

#2 - hired, HSV-based, choose to live within driving distance of HSV. How do all the above questions change (substituting HSV for LIT and JFK)?

I realize this might be outside the scope of the hiring discussion, and I'll be happy to move the question to another forum if it's more appropriate there. Thanks again for the continued great info on Atlas--I can't wait to get myself qualified to apply!
