Ontario to my knowledge has a lot of Honolulu and now Anchorage flying.
Anchorage seems to be mixed into CVG as well. I don't remember seeing it in ONT this bid package, but yes - lots of Hawaii.

JFK also has a nice mix of European and Middle East flying.

overall the 76 is a goldilock of a fleet: good mix, good schedules and mix of ETOPS from time to time
The only complaint from the 767: pay. The rest, as this guy says, is good.

I agree. I'm quite happy on the 76 and appreciate the variety it gives. One month I feel like going to Asia. The next month I'll take some domestic hub turns. The next month some nat track Etops.

Then of course there's some nice Tampa reserve....but that goes quite senior

Question 73

Thank you all for the insightful posts, Atlas/Southern was rec'd to me by a couple of senior 74 bubbas and a 73 line check airman, but it is good to hear POV's from other folks within the companies. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but will the end of Southern at the end of the year mean Atlas will be operating 73's or will the formerly Southern 73's go to someone else?

Once the JCBA/SOC is complete, there will no longer be a Southern Air. At that point, there will be one Atlas seniority list of pilot who operate 747/777/767/737.

This is a classic. The full video worth a watch.

Welcome aboard. You will probably enjoy it and if not you’ll move on as it’s a good start from what I gather your previous gig might have been. You’ll see a few select long haul runs sporadically available but not like what you were used to. Ups and downs here and there but you’re already acclimated to that. Hopefully it will meet your family needs if that’s a factor and yours. Hopefully by Sept it might be a tad better as well. It has its merits no doubt as I sit here in Landstuhl (familiar to you probably) on a cool rainy morning chimes ringing.

Default Base Seniority

What is the order of bases from junior to senior? In a good hiring environment with people coming in under you, how long would it take to move in to the various bases?
