In any case the 73 isn't going to be a time builder regardless. So if Atlas is where you want to be welcome! But if this is looking like a stepping stone to you I would looking elsewhere to build time faster because it will probably take you over two years to get 1000 hours from date of hire.
Agreed on the time building aspect. I don't need to build time so no worries for me, but I am on the 747. I just looked at my flight times to date from when I started. In 20 months since start date, I have logged 901 total hours. That is averaging 45 hours a month on the 747. If I take out the training months in MIA, it averages right around 53 hours per month.
Definitely something to think about if you are a low time guy just wanting to build time. This isn't the place.
