Air Atlanta Icelandic

[mutt]

-for transition from A 320 to A 330

Since when did Air Atlanta start operating these two aircraft types in Jeddah?

[Anilv]

Air Atlanta does have one A330, TF-EAA

Air Atlanta Icelandic A330-223

Probably ValK was talking about moving up from a 320.

TF-EAA A330 since July 2013

[mutt]

Thanks, it was the 320 that confused me....

A 330

yes moving up from A 320 to A 330

got post yesterday, will definitely get an interview, they wrote they will give my name also to the agency they work close with......by the way who is this agency?

got some good feedback from guys who flew for AA but:

-what is the salary per day as contractor?
-how is the interview, any actual questions or SIM profiles?

am expecting to get invited soon, any PM appreciated also about general experience to fly for AA (RoutNetWork out of Jeddah, Upgrade posibility and so on)

Interview in December

Gents, can anybody give me a good idea what to expect on my interview, it will be in December?

-What will be asked
-what is the sim about
-usually after interview, what time they expect to start to work for them?
-Got a few answers but nobody said how much exactly is the pay?
-Most probably iŽll fly the A 330 - how many flight hours i can expect a year: will it be cargo or pax or both?
-for A 330, will i be solely based in Jeddah, which hotel?
-do i have to pay the CCQ myself from 320 and how much will that be?

would be great to get some answers, thanks, or maybe somebody else is attending the interview?

greets

AAI only has 1 A330 and it is flying for Saudia like all other AAI aircrafts Exept the A340 that is flying for Air Madagascar, you will be based in Jeddah and the hotel is Crowne plaza

[eaglesnest1972]

hello folks,

330 FO here.

Can anyone give some info on the position with AAI?

Thanks in advance.

[dontpressthat]

The Contract only allows you to chose your time on/off if you opt for the Worldwide option which carries a lower daily fee than the fixed four weeks on and two off and generally has a minimum time on base of 3 weeks.
On the 4/2 there is a yearly holiday allowance of 30 days (unpaid) and is by request.
The only exception is those who have a FIA contract (Icelandic pilots union), mainly Icelandic nationals and they operate 21/21.

All Accommodation, travel and transport costs are covered and arranged by AAI.

Application

Hey Guys,

does anyone know how the chances are to get an assessment date? I applied via Mountainhigh last month but haven't heard anything except the application has been forwarded. Is there any need for pilots right now?

Thanks,

I worked for AAI 6 years.
L-1011 and 747.
Was the best job I ever had looking back over 30 years now including the military
We flew to places that most never see, even the bad places like Nigeria contracts after 911 we all managed to have a good time flying.
They paid well on time every time,
Unless something changed dramatically this is a good company and will always be in my retirement days as the best I ever flew for.
Thanks AAI for the good times the flying and the salary, but most important thanks for treating all crew members like family.
Many charter airlines could learn from you.




Best job i ever had.

Good for you, that you were treated so well. I am in a position to inform you, others were not treated so well. The cancerous nepotism among some of the "management" was something to behold. I am not referring to the Icelandic's as I type this.

[bcgallacher]

Earl - you must know me. AAI was good to work for when Arngrimur ran it - after he sold it the rot set in and it became a very unpleasant place to work. Money wise there were problems with salary cuts, when I was off sick it took months to get sick pay.did not enjoy the last few years I spent with them. Nigeria certainly sorted out the men from the boys. Only place I ever needed bodyguards to get to work!

[EW73]

Hear, hear, that goes for me too, exusaf.
I was there for a while, at Rose Village, in Paris, Manchester, KL and the Lagos experience......

[Private jet]

The Icelandics took all the decent flights at will from your roster and the company treated the non-Icelandic crew with total indifference.

What did you expect? It's an Icelandic airline with I presume predominantly Icelandic management. You were there as hired help because they had positions to fill & you took it. Nobody forced you to sign up now did they?

[ShotOne]

Ah, so overt racism is totally fine by you then. Pj?

at least we have pprune these days; in times past one only discovered unpleasant facts like that when it was too late!

[Private jet]

Ah, so overt racism is totally fine by you then. Pj?

No, not at all. How dare you imply I am racist. Where does race come into this exactly? Are the Icelandics a "race"? Er NO.
It's their airline and they employ who they want on the different T&C's individuals accept. Good for them. Nobody forces any "outsiders" to sign up, so, as the saying goes perhaps people should either "shut up or F off...."

[mikehammer]

That's not racism. It is nationalism.

[Private jet]

Exactly.

PJ - you keep referring to AAI as an airline - it is not,it is an ACMI leasing company which rarely operates an aircraft out of Iceland.
