Hi guys,

I'm looking to join Atlas on the 747. My lifestyle leans towards working a chunk of days and then having the most amount of consecutive days off (i.e. the 13 or 14 consecutive days off at Atlas). I have some questions regarding the bid lines on the 747 which I'm hoping some 747 drivers may be able to help answer...

How quickly will a new joining FO be able to bid and be awarded a primary or secondary line?

Do secondary lines contain 13(14) consecutive days off, or are these unique to primary lines only?

What percentage of primary / secondary lines contain the 13(14) consecutive days off?

On a fixed pattern, are you still able to bid for a month or two of out-base from time to time (i.e. if need to make some cash)?

What out-bases are currently on offer?

On a fixed pattern, are you still able to pick-up some open time flights on your off days?

How many years would it take an ANC 747 FO to be able to start bidding successfully for 13/14 consecutive days off back-to-back on two 30(31) primary bid months (i.e. to have 27 consecutive days off)?
