Overtime is easy to come by on the 747. It's harder to come by on the 767. In either fleet, it's a bad idea to plan your finances around overtime since it comes in waves.
I worked at Atlas for 6.5 years. There's no way to average 80 hours a month unless you're flying hostile every month or working extra. This is completely impossible. Are there 80 hour months? Yes. But EVERY month with training, sick, bereavement, vacation... etc is ALL 62 hours. 100% of it.
A good average at Atlas is closer to 70 hours a month.
