Does Atlas has reserve too? Or everyone gets a schedule. Not like other 121 passenger carrying outfit is it? If there is reserve, how long is that?
TPE flying, does that mean you spend lot of nights in Taipei?
How long are the layovers usually? Minimum rest requirement or they are some longer layovers.
Thanks
747-400 answers
1) yes. Every single pilot is a de facto reserve, and the majority of schedules are dedicated reserve schedules with slightly worse rules than line holders.
2) TPE flying is not applicable to 747
3) 747 only min rest to 24 hours. You will be scheduled for longer then that but you'll never see it because they will consistently reflow and utilize you
