You have experience with the Teamsters? ALPA? We have experience with both...but that is for another time and another place.

Or are you just trying to bait those (like me) and get a rise out of that???

Now I'm a little frightened, I am going to agree with 744 driver on this one.

Lets see:

One of the highest paying company's in the freight business or any airline for that matter.

Great health insurance and benefit package

The best friggin airplanes ever built for our fleet

Over 20 747-8's on order

A new contract will be here very soon now.. $200+ hr for a Captain

Is it perfect? Is there such a thing in the aviation business?

I am curious, did you get something official from Atlas to notify you that you were in the pool?

Thanks, and did you finally make it into a class?

After the interview it took six weeks to get the pool letter ( so much for letter=bad news). Then another 3.5 months to get the call for the class (JAN31). So be patient grasshopper and all shall work out.........

I know for what I speak, Been there, done that, both ALPA and Bourne and company. Now aged out but I was with both ALPA and Bourne and company and believe me, there is no comparison.

Got a call last Mon., phone interview seemed to go well? Told they were interviewing this week and I would need to take the exam before the weekend. Took it first thing last Fri (got the 66 and the pass) and no joy since? I know another guy who got a call and scheduled interview the day after the test. Am I done? Is there still a chance? Should I still take my phone in the shower? Can I re-apply? Help!
