I know of pilots going from B1900 straight into the 747, at Atlas even, and a good friend recently went from Twin Otter to 777 at Purple and is doing great. However, this is the first time I have seen this sort of thing regarding Atlas...



I have 7800+ hours, been with a foreign ACMI company (turboprop) for the last 10 years, but have previous 121 time from the early 2000s including DHC-8. Certainly no heavy international time. And, honestly, I have been out of the US system for a long time. Should I be concerned?

I have no desire for the legacies, as the schedules and commuting would not really work for me at all, and I am used to and prefer having chunks of work followed by chunks of time off. Kalitta is the only other company I am considering at the moment.

Thanks again for the thousands of contributions, which I have combed through most of over the last few months.
