Happy New Guys!!!
AA took 3 direct entry pilots out of the holding pool in November/December together with one of our cadets which made 4 new FO's. I also hear of rumours that 1 of the FO's out of the pool had well under the hours that was stated on the website for DE FO's so again why work your arse off as a cadet as time after time very low hour DE pilots get took on.
Upgrades, Well we all had the email 2 out of the 4 will be upgraded and from the way I read it will it be the best 2??? I will leave that up to you all to discuss that on the flight deck.
Recruitment, Outlook don’t look good for AA they took on 4 FO's , Upgrading 2 and the other day I herd of another FO handing in their notice so do the maths yourselves seems they only benefited 1 FO out of all that so maybe there might be recruitment again but I know there is still a few in the holding pool waiting for the call.
If you want to fly the ATP then look at Air Ghana, new company they have got themselves some ATP's looking for pilots and the hours requirement is low and you get to fly all over AFRICA!!!! Better than working for AA.
Handing in my notice................................................. let you know in a few weeks

Viperstings does not work with Atlantic!!!
Well, thus far nobody has handed their notice in at Atlantic with a move to Monarch.
I think therefore it is safe to assume that Viperstings does not work at Atlantic, unless of course Viper did not get his covetted start with Monarch.
Why are you so bitter towards Atlantic then Viper?

The Truth About Atlantic Scarelines
Over the last twelve months it has become rather unclear upon which direction the business pursuing. As an ex-employee I believe it's about time that for your sanity that all the myths are dispelled.
Lets begin... The 'Mighty' Etcetera will be sadly replaced by 2 737-300's in June this year. The two rust-bags are on their journey from the sandpit as we speak. Which from what I've been told their mainteance is quite possibly worse than Atlantic's own. The 73's will be crewed by monkey, Ryanair rejects, so unlucky superior fleet pilots, the gayTP awaits at best.

Hi MD11, have you considered Jet2? Their careers site is still advertising for 737 rated F/Os with 500hrs on type and at least 300 on type in the last 12 months, not sure if you meet the last bit of that but it's worth a punt.

It's a shame.... The same old vitriol comes full circle once again...
As ex AA employee and lucky enough to get a command on the Electra, you have to see AA for what it is. A great foot hold on the ladder, a great set of credentials for those able to move on to the next rung. Real hands on flying and pragmatic and an expeditious mind set which is recognised and acknowledged by many larger operators. The pay and conditions very rarely change as the company is reliant on a high turn over of pilots.... Service the bond and move on!
Sadly like everything in life it's subject to the wider economy and a downturn causes stagnation. It not personal just tough SH#T!
Every Airline I've worked for so far has had its big fleet vs small fleet friction and having dodged the dole queue/redundancy bullet on more than one occasion I wouldn't wish to see anyone out of a job just because they parachuted in from a perceived larger more senior type.
As for T's&C's, there will alway be a situations where two people flying the same type earn differing amounts in the same role. It's purely down the contract available to you at the time of joining.
Just remember..... It's all a numbers game. You take your deli counter number and pray to the Gods of the sky that your career ends before the airline does...

ATSG - owners of ATI AND ABXAir - is acquiring a 25% equity stake in West Atlantic... and "... In addition, Atlantic Airlines Ltd. is currently adding the B767 to its operating capability..."
Air Transport Services Group, Inc.
Does anyone sense the UPS European flying contract that is currently with Star Air but is up for renewal might have something to do with all of this...?
