Hi B744chaffeur,
I also flew for AAI some time ago... I was under Airborne at that time with a 4/2 rotation which was not too bad after all. I really enjoyed the working environment and I gained some very valuable experience and some great friends.
Of course I left because of the unpaid leave and the general unpredictability of the company but you know from day one you are just a contractor so no surprises there. Unfortunately, it has always been their strength and ultimately their biggest weakness.
In any case, I can’t PM you because you are too new to the forum but my company is currently hiring 747 TR FOs so when you get the PM approval, you are most welcome to touch base with me and if you are interested, I’ll put you in touch with the right people to schedule an interview.
Happy landings
