Atlas Air Worldwide Announces Guaranteed Interview Program For Pilots at GoJet Airlines
13 July 2018 - 5:00AM
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:AAWW) today said that
its Atlas Air, Inc. unit and GoJet Airlines have entered an
agreement guaranteeing GoJet pilots an interview with Atlas after
as little as one to two years of service. First Officers with
military flying experience will be eligible to interview with Atlas
after just one year of service at GoJet, while all other pilots
will be eligible to interview after a minimum of two years of
service.
The world’s largest operator of modern Boeing
747 all-cargo aircraft, Atlas Air Worldwide is widely recognized as
a leading global provider of outsourced aircraft and aviation
operating services. With a focus on express, e-commerce and
fast-growing markets, the company is in an era of significant
business growth and development, with opportunities to expand its
cargo and passenger operations with existing customers and with new
ones.
“We are delighted to begin this special
relationship with GoJet,” said Atlas Air President and Chief
Operating Officer John W. Dietrich.
“Aviation is at the center of today’s modern
global economy. And its continued ability to provide access to
markets, serve as a catalyst for international trade, and propel
economic and social development will benefit greatly from
innovative partnerships like this one, which will help ensure a
solid pipeline of attractive candidates dedicated to a career in
aviation.”
“Our new partnership with Atlas provides an
excellent career progression opportunity for our pilots,” said
GoJet Chief Operating Officer Terry Basham. “Given Atlas’ healthy
economic outlook, our pilots will find it an ideal place to build a
long-term career.”
“This agreement opens the door for GoJet pilots
to potentially fly the Boeing 747 or 767, among the most storied
aircraft in aviation history,” added GoJet Director of Flight
Operations Randy Bratcher. “The opportunity to join the Atlas team
and operate big Boeings all over the world is a very attractive
career move for our pilots.”
Current GoJet pilots with the requisite time in
service may immediately opt-in to the Atlas guaranteed interview
program, while new GoJet pilots may do so as soon as
time-in-service requirements are met.
With GoJet mentoring and a guaranteed interview,
pilots invited to join Atlas can look forward to advancing their
careers with a growing global air carrier, the opportunity to fly
wide-body Boeing aircraft, and airline transportation to and from
their base.
