B767Longhaul...No not $100 per hour..Atlanta pay $250 per day.They also pay $100 per hour for any hours flown more than 75 in a calander month.But paperwork from ACE,their main pilot contract agency has indicated that the whole pilot/FE package is going to be improved as of November 2003.The airline's owner,a young kid who lives in Luxembourg,has agreed that long term fixed contracts including paid leave,loss of licence insurance,improved pay and other benefits will be offered to 'selected' crew. Atlanta is growing at a prodigious rate and they want a corps of regular people to stay with them rather than the gypsy itinerant lot they have had in the past.The 747 (and 767)seems to be going from strength to strength,with long term scheduled freight operations with Malaysian,Cargolux and soon Lufthansa.AAI are offering in house 747 conversions to their 767 pilots to cover their 747 pilot shortfall.
There again B767,as someone who says in his profile that he doesn't reckon on flying for scumbag outfits..you are probably safer staying in Kano and flying for...er... Kabo?
