Welcome aboard to you and the others!
Nice! You flew the mini jet and Barney! 😉. Looking forward to getting started!

Cool like jumping back into an F-14 Tomcat? Don’t think I could start it up without my FE as I never did a walk around, etc. Nothing glamorous like flying the POWs out (too young), etc., but the “tube of pain” was my first love. I believe AtlasShrugged has way more experience if I recall and many others as well. It was fun and mind numbing chasing the molecules old school flying. Old Coke can technology, but a true workhorse.

To the vets in here, any insight to the program would be great. Any bottlenecks in the 74 program? Any IOE delays?

My background is retired C-5 Instructor Flight Engineer, current Regional FO.

I’m really looking forward to this school and opportunity.

Thanks in advance for any/all info you can share!
PM me, where were you on C-5, flew it for 20+ years in Dover Reserves, lots of resources at the Townplace Suits, I think most 0f hotel in Atlas, everyone is awesome about helping and getting you on board and ready! Bring your shot records or you'll get 5 vaccines right out of the gate! If you flew the M this entire system will look very familiar, guess there's only so many ways to wire for the CF-6's!

Welcome to Atlas!
There’s also a decent 74 groundschool on YT

Very handy if you’re not smart like me and you need the wax in wax out approach to learning.

It looks really good actually. Was that used at Atlas in the past?

I believe it was.
Went missing on YT for a while but it’s back now.
Came in very handy during my final week of reserve at my previous employer.
Don’t memorize, familiarize.
