I live in the PNW so I probably won't be going home but there IS weekend time cut out for family visits, recreation, drive to the Keys, etc., right? Can I plan for some breathing-time in September?
My understanding of the training schedule is that they have to give us a couple of days off every 7 days. It could be different, but that’s the maximum. I am told that once we get into the sims, there will be periods of significant down time. Like 3 or 4days between sessions.
But remember….I’m gonna be a new hire too. This is just what my buddies that already work there have told me.

*Exception to policy: Definitely have seen outfits attempt to sabotage their employees from leaving during those 2 weeks or after no notification so it all depends I guess.

You don't want the 74. Not yet. Enjoy it when your seat lock expires in 24 months (assuming you get the offer). Year 3 is when the widebody pay really goes up relative to the 73, anyway.

You will be offered the 737 which only flies about 20 to 40 hours a month. My recommendation would be to go to the regionals to build some time if Atlas isn’t the final destination. But if Atlas is the final stop that you plan on then get on and get your senioritY number.
