EFA and A330
Converted 330 freighters do not get the 'bump' as it is required on factory built freighters because the nose gear attachment points are different to get the floor level on the ground for ease of moving freight.
The converted freighters apparently have an electric system installed as part of the conversion because of the issue you say i.e nose down attitude on ground.

An atlas FO second year would be on about 100k a year more
Yep. I do wonder, with 8 airframes to be delivered in the new few years, how they plan to get pilots to fly them….it really is a GA outfit. And with the adversarial way QF have treated Network negotiations I doubt there will be enough pilots to even fly the current fleet come negotiation time.

How did Australian pilots allow bean counters and MBA retards to decimate the industry so badly?
It really is time for dramatic change.

As much as I dislike what has happened in the industry you can't blame anyone but the pilots. We saw what happened in '89 and continues today, unity became a thing of the past never to be seen again. There will always be someone looking to advance their career even to the expense of their colleagues.

The 'bump' is only fitted on 330's actually built as freighters & it is as you say because the passenger aircraft has a nose down attitude on ground.
