Plus it's a 747, a HUGE step up in complexity and size from a CRJ and you will have to know not only the jet at a Captain's knowledge level, but you will be grilled on international and oceanic crossing regs and procedures. Good luck, you'll need it coming from a commuter.
Negative Nancy strikes again! This info is wrong.
RJ guys do fine here. If you get the call and keep your nose to the grindstone, you'll have no more problems than pilots with from other background.
That said, there are better options for you than Atlas! Keep looking!!
