That's good information and what I was looking for, thanks.

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.
Thanks?
I'm actually on the CRJ-700/900 (which does have slats), just never updated my profile. Not that the 700 is that different to fly from the 200. I came from an ATR before the CRJ and while different, with adequate training it was no problem. That is my primary concern, are people getting
adequate training to succeed?

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!!
Thanks DC8DRIVER. I am definitely willing to put in the hard work. My regional is dying a slow death and I'd rather get out when it's by choice instead of by necessity. I am still actively looking.
