My "WAG" would be no. On the 767 side of the house, Atlas is short of experience. This was a win-win for both parties. The union got union brothers and sisters pref hiring and the company got experience and cost savings with a shortened course. Plus it sounds like the company is in a hurry.

We are in very good shape on the 744 side, with 10 year FO's waiting for the left seat. So no need for the experience and no hurry.

Not saying it won't happen, just not a need on the company's side.
