I’ve been offered my choice of 74 or 76 training, with the 76 starting a week sooner. My primary interest is in minimizing my time on the road. Which is a better choice? I’m assuming it’s the 76.

Bunch of very high time heavy PIC expats, some military fighter guys, young, old, and most with 3000+ total time.
Trying to make sense of airline hiring usually does not end up making any sense.

One pilot in the past week or so went directly from sim training at Atlas to UPS. Stories like that are happening on a very regular basis.

It’s both Atlas and background (granted now is a better than most probably for anyone), but I will guess we will see a significant pull from the Big 3 and others due to the vast amount of early retirements taken and others were able to get work (mil guys back to their units). Surge will be significant as bodies are pulled to fill empty front seats. Plenty of iron still laying around and flights are packed.

I haven't had any surprises yet, but so far no kids have needed braces, surgery, etc.
