Right now with our Covid pay, the money is there if you want it. ANC 747 FO bid package had lines with 196 hour guarantees. Whether the world is still upside down by the time you get on the line remains to be seen.

Hey Guys
I have been offered a start date on the 737.
I have been hearing and reading horror stories about the Atlas training department. ie high failure rates, no CBT, no formal ground school, no AQP.
I am getting nervous. Should I leave the regional I am at to risk it all with Atlas?
Is somebody able to lay out how pilot training works at Atlas? What to expect? How much preprep should I do? Do they seriously just give you a bunch of manuals and a hotel room that counts as ground school?
Thanks in advance

I don't know who you listen to or where do you read those stories...BUT that's a bunch of crap.
No AQP, that's true, but we do have CBTs, failure rates are not high at all. Systems, you're on your own, but there's some ground school and plenty of SIM, like a LOT.
People call it a big boy training program, and it's just that. Don't expect someone telling you what paragraphs to read and when to go to bed. But you have all the material and support you may need to succeed.
No need to get nervous. That won't help you. You need determination and commitment, and then you won't have any problem.
Plenty of manuals yes
(FCTM FCOM 1&2 FOM and tons of good PDFs and presentations.

The problem will come when you get fresh ATP's with 1500 hours going to the 74. It will happen, they are working on in house ATP-CTP right now.
Now I am not saying fresh ATP holders aren't capable of sitting in the RHS of a 777 or 747 etc, but Atlas will have to drastically change the way their sim training is conducted to get these people through without a highecheckride failure rate or IOE wash out
