How's life at Atlas Blue? I need a sun tan!!

[ducati1980]

Can anyone working for or having worked for Atlas Blue give me an idea of what life is like, rosters, FO treatment, company finances, plans for the future etc... What are chances for upgrade in the future. I'm interesting in applying on the Rishworth contract as an Fo and wondering if anyone can shed any light on what to expect. either as a reply or PM any info would be greatly appreciated.

What is Agadir like for social life and life in Morroco generally? I only spk very basic French but I would be willing to learn. Will this be a problem as I know they prefer french speaking people.

Any help or advice on anything related to Atlas Blue or living in Morroco would be great.

Cheers

Roster: 8 consecutive days OFF/month, not to much change for FO.
Salary is good.
Plans for future, upgrade and CRM: very poor.
Usely, the base is Marrakech.
No problem if you don't speak french.

only 8 days off a month?

the salary is a lot lower than comparable jobs in Europe. Also, you will be bonded. (I know, strange, but they do it). French not needed, no upgrade.

Parc offers a Casa and Agadir contract with Jet4you or Flyforjet or whatever.

Beautiful country, friendly people, great food...

No bond with Atlas Blue, just some James bond captains!

PARC told me that you have to speak French.

so is it really only 8 days off a month or do u usually get more?

When I was there(year ago) , it was 8 days off in a row (then you can commute home using free tickets with ATB , or staff travel with RAM) .
During the rest of the month you will get your minimums legal rest periods.
