I can confirm that Air Atlanta is not as desperate for crew as some people here may imply. ;)

Check here for the latest crew vacancies with AAI.:ok:

Whiskery,

the website has been like this since 2005.

Direct employment with AAI is not possible except if you hold the right passport.
All contractors are employed by various agencies (most 'famous' is Airborne) and these agencies will advertise according to AAI's request on different websites (350 etc.).

I absolutely agree with AAIguy: Fish for a real job! Don't waste years.

The best defenition i ever heard!
Really,its down to the dot.
AAI's new FOM chapter 7,edition nov06.is just about to crack...if CAA look's in to the content about def.of tvl and duty time...and reporting time...
It's amazing how they could get this printed,and of course any newhires or some young "son" in ops will ofcourse send U tvl to AMS and then operate to K.L ref. to FOM chp7...
Its so stupid written thats its very easy missunderstod,maybe that was the point from the start.

Many guy like to treat the FOM as a union contract, which it is not. If this is approved by the ICAA this would at least equal JAA standart.

Most of the other posts here are not worth answering. But I would like to know how many of you actually worked for AAI... :)

Can a European airline put a crew on duty for a long flight and then tell them to ferry an empty aircraft for several more hours, because there is no revenue on board, as happens sometimes in the US?

For example, Part 121 then a part 91 flight :((general aviation regs)?

As I understand it, NO.

In Europe duty time is duty time, PERIOD:ok:

:DI,m there for a few years and to me as ex. lufthansa flyer it is prety OK , I was flying for quite a few airlines, here is not as bad as many of them, You will like it some times , and dislike some other times , which is normal in this besiness, if U realy need some detail let me know , it has changed a lot recently with new management.

I,ve seen a lot of :) guys here and also :confused: U got to try it yourself. I always enjoyed my flight and layover with the guys.

Steady paychecks with plenty of opportunity for Overtime (at whatever rate).

Go for it!

It's not a job....... it's an adventure!

Air Atlanta is GOOD company for most

I have friends in SAS, Cathay and other big carriers.
Its very hard to please most of us.
I think Air Atlanta has its ups and downs like most other carriers.
Just apply come and check it out. Everyone seems to be looking for pilots now anyway. Still I work with guys who have been here for years as contractors. Some are happy. Some are not so happy and some are very happy. They still hang around. There are also guys who left for greener grass and they have come back and are happy to be back. Then we have guys who have gone for better jobs and Air Atlanta was a jumping stone for a better career.

Unfortunately when someone asks for advise on this site they just get the negative info with few exceptions.

There has been recent changes for the better in the management.

Its true people get shuffled around and some have had problems with the crew leasing agency.

It realy is up to what you are looking for. We fly to many different locations from different bases. Like some of my collegues say its an adventure.

Have a look and judge for yourself.

Try the Airbus.
Contractors get 8 days off a month. Some live in Abu Dhabi.
There is an A/C doing a contract out of Paris flying around Africa. The Abu routes are India, China, Milan and Franfurt.
Plenty of changes usually due to tech reasons or late arrivals but it looks a lot better than what I've read here about the 747. Don't know how the money compares.
Oh and they must be looking for crew, esp F/O's
