Btw as much as I know jeddah is the only base (beside paris( a340))

Terrible, absolutely terrible place, btw are those camel statues still standing at the roundabout on the way to Rose Village from the airport?
(Though I'm not really sure I should be using upper case letters when referring to rose village!)

Very, very glad I'll never ever see that place ever again, ever!

Had some very enjoyable times at Rose Village. The restaurant was great and having the library next door it was a very civilised transition for some after dinner relaxation. Pity about the Hungry Jacks near the yacht club!

The swimming pool area was excellent and some wonderful friendships made with the nordic dolls of Air Atlanta.

BBQs with a bit of home made red wine and tasty steaks from the supermarket.

Paradise !

Indeed also enjoyed my time in Rose village, don't recall having any red wine mind:ok:

Hope I will enjoy it too, just starting course on monday :)

Rose village ?? There hasn't been a rose village in 8 years, y'all going over to Azzam. Where's that ? hope you enjoy it. :{

Flaps was aware of that, I was there in 1995:)

They were still talking about Rose village when I left last year, must have been pretty good there. Mind you, I spent a lot of time at the Al bilad, by the sea. My second home for many years :ugh:

Triklop have you got the confirmation for the groun school on May 14?

Air Atlanta flight attendants saved my bored butt during Hajj. I was stuck in a hotel they were on a compound on a golf course.

Hi All,

I am considering applying for this position via the agency confair, could anyone let me know what the actualt roster is like i have seem lots of different examples, also roughly how much money you get at the end of each month and on average how much time you get at home each month???

any help greatly appreciated

Back many years ago when Olie Smith run the show AAI was the best.
Rose village has been closed for many years.
AAI was always good back then.
Problems I seen progressing was the flight attendant managers they slowly installed into crew management positions.
Trolley dolly would try and force you do what they were never qualified to do, such as flight plans duty days etc.
Doubt there wlll ever be another Ollie.
Best manager they ever had.

Employees concern
 

Air atlanta kets you work like slaves. No benefits whatsoever. No job security as they enforce the so called forced vacation. Off base and you have no pay. Not for a career guy with a family to feed. Looking also that they pass the IOSA but they they are not keen on the human factors issues. E.g. Fatigue, overwork, straight duty for crew and ground staff. All precursors of a big accident. So goodluck if you join this wretched airline,. Airborne and mountain high sucks too.mworst agency ever

AAI
 

Just few personal thoughts on the subject. Air Atlanta is one of the largest ACMI operators with basically one only big customer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

They have been in business for more than two decades and one of the reasons is their capability to adapt to a very harsh environment with constantly changing priorities. Their secret recipe is a bit of Icelandic "can do" attitude, their stamina, all mixed with the contractors' flexibility.

The permanent staff are on a different contract and they need that to support the operations in times of low season. When things pick up, they call the mercenaries back, which allow the company to inflate and deflate as quickly as the Customer requires. It is not really their fault, it's really the nature of the operation they run.

Sure I agree the company lacks a bit of human touch, but on the contrary you know from day 0 that you are only a contractor and what you see on the contract is what you get with no surprises. In more than 2 years with AAI, I never had to chase them once for money.
On the contrary and in no particular order, Training, destinations, manuals, ground staff, accommodation, IT they are excellent and all go in the plus side for me.

The only reason why I left was job stability as I needed a more steady cash flow and could not afford the ups and downs of the contracting job, but I have only good memories of my time there with still lots of friends also among the Vikings.
Just my two cents on the topic.
Alby

Surly AAI have a Chief pilot who has the t:mad:s to stand up to bulling management. A chief pilot that is doing his job and standing up for the interests of all the pilots. From your post, it appears not. Maybe the so called "Chief pilot" is just another management puppet, masquerading as a chief pilot. In my day a chief pilot was just that, looking after the interests of the pilots and protecting them from a lot of the BS you have described. If he couldn't then he resigned the "post".

A 330 offer
 

Gents,

am in contact with AirAtlanta, they don´t say much but it might come a "chance" to get hired in Jeddah - i got a few questions:

-is the crew on a 4weeks on and 2 off or is it 6/4
-is it true that there is no payment during the off period
-for transition from A 320 to A 330 is it payed by the Crewmember himself or is there a bond, for how much is that, or how long is the bond
-Do they upgrade the FO´s?
-do they just work on Wet Lease and are they all the year over based in Jeddah
-is the crew based in a hotel or do they have to look for their own appartement
-how many flight hours can you expect to fly during one year?
-is the flight from and to work payed
-how much can the FO expect salarywice
-finally, how is the interview, where and what is asked

I read there are some other posts from AAI, but some of them are outdated or i can´t find them, if my questions are answered somewhere please PM me where to find.

I didn´t go threw the agencies, i know somebody in Jeddah, but he is not working for AAI

i am so glad to see level 6 worked wonders for the pilot group
