Air Atlanta Icelandic
 
Can anyone help me out with this? What's the difference in Air Atlanta contracts? ie. between "Direct" and Air Crew Executive (ACE).

Also is it possible to go straight on to the 767? or does one have to 'do time' on the 747?

Best to check directly (no pun intended) with Direct or Ace.

ACE contact: [email protected] if memory serves

I think one has to do time on the L1011s first.But if you are current on 767, I guess you go direct.
They got great looking cabin crew too.... :p

Money's terrible! Foreign and contract pilots have to be available all the time and are treated quite differently to the Icelandics. Not unlike Appartheid actually! :(

Paladini[/B]Word of advice:Steer clear of Air Atlanta :eek: Working there is something short of falling into a dump of radiactive waste :confused: you will never recover either mentaly or physically :(
126.9 Appartheid is a gross understatement. :mad:

Those with an Icelandic contract are in theory working 3 weeks on/3 weeks off. The others no system at all, and as a new pilot with AA this is your category. The 3 on/3 off system is not working either, according to pilots flying for them, You can without any problems find a better paid 737 contract in Europe. But if you get a kick out of wingspan and MTOW rather than life style, go for it.

According to insiders; Air Atlanta have no HR strategy, and it is basically a mess.

Who is the Chief Pilot there (Air Atlanta)? Why isn't he educating the company about how to handle pilots with respect?

Why is it called Air Atlanta if it is KEF based?

OH.

WASSUP!!! Noticed you have an .IS ISP

Are you Icelandic?.....if so, or not, can recommend a great book.. "The Xenophobe's Guide to Icelanders" author, who cares ...should be able to find it at the REYkyavik airport bookstore... A must read for prospective AAI folks.

BTW the 747 Fleet Capt is... wait for it....a pretty good guy to work for/with.

As for Air Atlanta name, better ask Arngrimmur :D :D

OilheadThe reason beeing the Chief Pilot is a !!!!!!!! himself so he is unable to treat any thing or any one with respect!!!
Let alone educate!?!?! :confused:
On the other hand Kato747I agree the 747 Fleet Capt is a allright! :D

Folks,

Are you complaining about Air Icelandic?
Take a time with Asiana Airlines: Air Icelandic would seem a kindergarten by comparison!...
Take care...
