Atlas Air
 

Hi - Is Atlas Air Stanstead base for US or EU pilots only - it seems they are hiring. Thanks for any reply. Twin2040

Anyone who meets the requirements.

I hadn't heard they are hiring. Where is the info?

Hi Intruder. Thanks for your reply. Just did a search and you are right - no C.V´s accepted. Yesterday link to Atlas Air homepage said they where accepting C.V`s for Stanstead base only............. Twin2040

Have they ever taken pilots on with turbo-prop time? I have a FAA ATP and 4500 TT (about 2000 Turbo prop).....I sent a CV in anyway. I have a Brit passport and evn some A&P experience on the 747.

Yes. [Plus more for 10 character min...]

Atlas Air Recruitment
 

...Any info regarding Atlas Air Pilot Recruitment is appreciated. Do they have immediate requirements??? Total Time 5200 Hrs 4600 Hrs Jet Transport B737-300/400/800 and A320. Already applied...!!! Fingers Crossed!

I wish we had a clue. With the merger going forward, the end result would be too many pilots, if you believe there is an increase in efficacy as a result. There are still some retirements ahead and a lot of people just leaving. I hear a large group (nine or so, in November) is heading to Korean, from both Polar and Atlas.

Also remember that when the merger is complete, there are around a hundred Polar pilots (Polaroid's, correct me if I'm wrong) furloughed, and all the FE's are fired (for the moment).

Also the threat of Atlas shrinking before the 747-8's arrive is out there.

Good news, marketing just deleted all vacations in the forth quarter of 2007 from our vacation bid. Hope they know something is in the works.

Good luck.

What is the timetable for Atlas getting rid of the -200s?

Again, who knows. With the DHL deal, it could be very differant than a week ago.

Atlas employment
 

Atlas Air, either US or EU is not recruiting, they won't be employing for a while since the guys from Polar (around 150) furlough few months ago would have priority......

Nice try tough..... ;)

You may want to adjust that opinion judging on the recent Polar VARS.

While I would have chosen Polar as an ally, their actions against the Atlas pilot group have proven the contrary.

USA 1-800-253-5671

Just now listend to the recent Polar VARS - sounds ok to me.

"Atlas MEC Chairman Captain Borne expressed his concern to the Executive Council regarding the validity of the PID and merger in light of the Company’s recent announcements. The Polar MEC agreed with Captain Borne. ."

". . . while I attended the ALPA Board of Directors Meeting in Las Vegas. . I had the opportunity to listen to the Globalization Presentation Panel, and realized that . . . the issues that are threatening our profession worldwide are a reality today in our own company. Global Mergers, Branding, Alliances, Foreign Control are the newest weapons that corporations are using to weaken the power of labor. Corporations funnel cash up to holding companies, operate via multiple shell airlines out of different countries with different labor laws, and attempt to make pilots compete for jobs (just as we see happening here under AAWW) on a low bid basis. . . . airline managements continue to transfer flying to the cheapest crew force that is willing to undercut their fellow union. . . towards a race to the bottom and we must think and act collectively as a group to effectively combat it. Now, more than ever we must stand together"

"it continues to be our utmost goal to put an end to the contentious labor/management relations that continue to plague this company."

Note that there is no longer separate EU hiring for Atlas. However, since STN is currently the junior base, most/all new hires are assigned there initially.
