Junior MIA FO was a 6/17 hire. Very little movement in Miami.
Junior HSV new hire was a 7/18 hire.
There is no guarantee which fleet type you'd get, though.
Assuming you are asking about flight hours for pay purposes, on months WITHOUT training, sick, or vacation, you could average anywhere from 70 - 75 hours. Months WITH training, sick, or vacation you would be closer to the first year min guarantee of 50 hours. Actual time flying the plane would be about 25% of that due to Atlas using four person crews on most 747 flights.
Read up on the downsides of the job at Atlas. If you are qualified to fly at Atlas, you would be qualified to get hired at OMNI or Kalitta, both of which have far, far better pay and working conditions.
