The clock is ticking to 150 days and the flying is just not happening. Just dont want to do the wrong thing with my bid and fly less. Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks
Welcome!... Part of the reason training/interviews has slowed is due to the backlog of pilots awaiting OE and getting their hours in. Don't sweat it, bid what you want. However, be persistent and call scheduling and remind them how many hours you still need. If you feel you are still not going to make it or scheduling is clueless, call and ask for a crew planner to discuss options. Atlas obviously doesn't want you to time out, but sometimes schedules get lost in the shuffle. Good luck!
