Thanks in advance!

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.

No reason to spend the resources to train someone if they're going to be running back once recalled. I hope I heard him wrong but it does make sense from a strictly business standpoint. As long as there's regional and 135 pilots filling up classes why take someone you know won't be sticking around?
