Is there a way to tell by looking at a flight number which flights are passenger charters? Do they have a specific number range?

We do line bidding. So, you may be given 100 lines to chose from, and you rank order your preferences.
Trip trading is "allowed" at the discretion of the company, which means that in reality we do not have trip trading. What fleet are you being hired into? If it's the 777/767, start studying general knowledge stuff like ETOPS or NAT/oceanic contingency procedures. Oh, and learn how to use proper ICAO radio phraseology. Seriously. I’m 747, but we have a solid 80+ hired in from Compass. I’ll take a look at more of the oceanic stuff but being Mil, I’m blessed to have that and ICAO history. Good call on brushing up on that stuff though. I’m guessing bidding wise, there’s a software you use at least? The only Mil Pax halls I’ve seen is the BWI Lines. 767 flights with a Giant callsign.

How does bidding work in general? Do you just get all the lines and list priorities?
Do they allow trip trades? Lastly, I want to start studying something. How can one get ahold of memory items or training documents to read on? Is it risky to take a look at YouTube videos on systems? COVID has me a bit bored... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The YouTube videos for 767 systems are pretty trustworthy. Honestly though I would just wait till training. You’ll have more than enough time to learn everything. Like someone said in an earlier post it couldn’t hurt to start glancing at ETOPS/NAT stuff. Nailing down proper phraseology would be good too. It’s a super big deal when you start flying worldwide. I thought I knew how to talk on the radios, then I came to Atlas. Hahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Most of our passenger flights are for the DoD or military, so the details are not publicly shared.

I totally understand that and wouldn't want anyone to share anything that is SSI. I have a 74 class date coming up and was looking at flight aware just trying to get a feel for the pax (not just military) to cargo ratio.

Yeah, the risk with my advice is low expectations set us up to accept low results.

With a few exceptions the vast majority of the lines are built to 17 days.
Mar-Jun2020: 12 day trip 14 day trip 10 day trip 6 day trip 11 day trip 3 day trip (training on days off...not my preference) 16 day trip I would guess I do a 17 day trip once every 3-4 months or so. Most of my trips are 6-16 days. |
