Atlas Air Hiring
#4232
Hi all, another quick question and certainly not a determining factor in the scheme of things, but the search turned up nothing recent. With all the new aircraft and hiring, has the upgrade time been shortened much? On the APC profile the most junior upgrade was Jun 2004 in the 767. Not chasing the quick uprgrade/big equipment, but trying to plan with the best info at hand. Thanks!
So if we're adding airframes without parking any and retirements coming, I see it dropping.

R1 is home reserve. You are at your home and have either five hours or ten hours depending on time of day to depart from your gateway airport. By the new contract it appears the company is responsible to get you from your home to your gateway but I'm not sure. I live out in the sticks and it's better for me to get myself there.
R2 is hotel reserve. It can be in your base or at another location. The company provides the hotel in either case but you do pay tax on the imputed income if you are in your base.
R3 is hot reserve at the airport. You have to be able to block out 1+30 from being called. I've not yet run into anyone who has ever been assigned R3.

Not to get this thread off track but the red highlight above needs some correction. The company is responsible to get you from you HOME and it doesn't have to be your Gateway. Thus, the reason it's called Home Reserve and capitalized as a legal definition in the CBA.
The Company can send a cab, limo, chariot, or any other mode of transportation to get you moving out of your Home. It's their responsibility and their dime. There's a recent discussion on this very topic on the Union Forum and I urge everyone to check it out as you guys are taking on expenses that you don't need to be doing.
So to summarize, Gateway Travel is something you excercise as a way to get to a trip or your base. Home Reserve is a "don't sweat it" 'cuz it's the company's responsibility and you may fly out of an airport that isn't your Gateway.
Hope this helps.

I think he means they called but he wasn't available to answer. Assuming they were calling to conduct the phone interview.
Am I correct?

paidpnuts, at least thats a progression in the right direction. I hope you are able to make contact with them. Good luck.. Did they call from New York, Miami or where. I would like to know what area code(s) to look for and not ignore a call that could be mistaken for a telemarketer call!! Im hoping to get a call soon. Sounds like you submitted your paperwork a week ahead of me. Anyway, heres hhoping for that elusive call.

It was a 914 area code talked to Brittany this afternoon. Very pleasant and nice. When she asked about the schedule I hesitated and wasn't as excited as I probably should of been. I was not asked to do the online assessment test rather she said she would give my resume to the chief pilot which is apparently the kiss of death.
Good luck to everyone seems like a great outfit.

I had been following this on the Union site but wasn't sure if it had played out completely yet. Living out in the sticks like we do, I suspect my life is easier by using my gateway of MSO. I can see the advantage of doing otherwise if one lives closer to civilization, though.
To all reading this....: This kind of interaction is what you can expect when you come here. Civil discourse about what's going on rather than the bombast that often happens elsewhere. This is a good place to be.

I posted that a couple posts back
Sent a PM to another member. Here is for he most part the phone call questions.
Talked about my resume.
Talked about my schedule and what I usually fly.
Asked to define CRM
Tell me about a time you used Crm to resolve a conflict.
What do you know about the gateway system.
Do you know about our schedules.
How do you feel about it?
Is there anything in your background that we might find.
If I can think of anything else I'll let you guys know. Good luck everyone
