I’m just happy to see some more pushback on the 4-5 constant whiners here who refuse to leave. Don’t make the rest of us miserable because you’re unhappy with your life choices. |

uhhh…because you pointed to flying “heavies” in your previous post as a perk? Seriously, do you think flying “heavies” is more difficult than flying a narrow body? I am asking as a pilot with 15,000+ hours flying “heavies” around the world and several thousand more hours flying “less than heavies”.
There are many perks to flying heavies that attract all kinds of pilots. Layovers around the world vs around the state is one example. Another is having some more space in the flight deck. We can agree that it's tiring to have to remember when to use "heavy" in the call sign domestically vs ICAO. I digress...these perks make Atlas an attractive option...not to mention the type or intensity of flying. As for your flight time and experience... as valuable as it is.. . makes no difference to this argument. In fact it makes one wonder what keeps you at such a "bad deal" as Atlas. |

Alright TiredSoul and Lionhaart, you discovered my fetish…I get off on the monthly sexual abuse of flying for an ACMI. I have no desire to move on because I’ve gotten addicted to it. Perhaps I should remember that at one time I too was a young “heavy” driver and just so proud to tell everyone of my pilot friends that would still listen to me, and even random folks, that they too should experience flying “heavies”to all kinds of glamorous destinations. Heck, I probably even masturbated in my sleep just thinking about keying the mic and saying “heavy”. Anyways, enough about my weird fetish stuff. Maybe I’ll take this opportunity to reevaluate myself, my career, my sexuality, and even my choice in dogs. Maybe I’ll seek professional counseling…or maybe I’ll just fall asleep in the bunk dreaming about saying “heavy” again when I return to the cockpit.

I don't see the -8i as a popular conversion unless they cut quite a bit of the upper deck flooring out. (not sure that is even possible) You lose an awful lot of tall pallet positions. I predict they become parts planes for the -8 freighters for many years to come.

I personally expect the economy to crash and pax flying to dwindle again. The country has just pushed this COVID economic recession back. We are in the eye of the hurricane... except now the government can't bail people out
Many new pilots will appreciate the hedging security that comes with flying at Atlas as well as the constant adventure in the destinations we go to. Also you get to fly heavies. |
