Would you mind if you fill me in also?

Thanks

I have an interview coming up and I was told that they’ll likely ask my airframe preference in the HR portion. I’m aware of the different fleet types and associated “missions.”

Whch airframes at Southern / Atlas will keep me flying the most? Maybe a projected shorter reserve time or potential growth due to added airframes?

I can only speak from the Atlas standpoint.

Reserve at Atlas is not like other airlines. On the 76 it goes senior, on the 74 it just means "schedule is coming, standby". Keep in mind that the company will be putting you in a hotel -- this is not a crash pad airline. "Time on reserve" is not an issue here.

As for growth -- unknown and unknowable. Even the van drivers are clueless.

What do you mean by "keeping me flying the most"? In the 74 you will log more time, but a big chunk of that will be as a relief pilot. In the 76 you will log less time, but almost all of it will be in the seat for takeoff and landing.

A question that you might ask yourself is whether you want to be doing domestic or international. There is international flying on the 76 of course, and a new 76 pilot will see some of it, but it tends to go senior so the bulk of a new 76 pilot's flying will be domestic.

My suggestion for the interview is to be enthusiastic for either airplane and at most express a very slight preference for the one that you want. Flexibility is always appreciated at Atlas! That is assuming that the #1 priority is the job in any form. If it were me I would then follow up with my desire to be in the first class that I can get into.

Best of luck.

FYI- RSV is senior and you will likely never get it. The 80’s are back!

Ok, who's the r*tard who had to blab to a stranger?

Job prospects
 

I’m a soon to be furloughed mainline guy at a legacy carrier. I have around 6000 hours, typed in the CL-65 and 737 (currently flying). Any idea on how long it could take to get an interview? Also what is the expected duration of training and what is the current pay during training? I know some of this information is out there but just wanted a better idea on current numbers. Thanks in advance!

Pretty variable based on a lot of factors. Some guys get a call in a few days. Another just interviewed after applying, like 4 months ago.

Well looks like the Hong Kong situation just went from bad to worse. Nice job jack@ss!
