The 10/02/2023 hires are mostly done in Miami, some have another 1-2 weeks left. So looks like 3 months is a pretty good estimated average time in Miami. Looks like there is now a 2-3 month wait for OE though. The most junior line qualified 747 FO for January bidding was a 07/10/2023 hire. The 07/31 hires are going through OE now.

1 1/2 weeks of INDOC and Airline Orientation Course
2 Weeks Systems
1/2 Week for the Orals
3 Weeks Fixed Base Sims
3 Weeks Full Flight Sims
1 Week Type Ride
2 Days Line Orientation
2 Weeks Final Sims (LOFT, Upset, Differences, Landings, CAT II /III, etc)
Throw in a few extra days off and you are at 3 Months.
Schedules are published on the 25th for the following month. That's about as we can give you.

During your time in Miami, no-one tries to screw with you, but it's still the worst part about the whole Atlas experience. Mostly because it's Miami. The Atlas part is fine.

And those schedules are subject to change on a daily basis. They do try to work with you if you have a week off and you let them know you intend to fly home, but they will also tell you those days off are not guaranteed and to check your schedule daily.

All of that is just training in how to avoid problems once on the road at Atlas in “some of the more interesting places” we go.
