I have seen those beautiful big jets at Kabul and Bagram many times...wish I was passing through and not living there!

If you don't mind sharing, what was the best material you studied? Thanks

Add the Emirates 744 you see at KBL, to the Atlas list of beauties.

I think you've got that backwards. There have been more than a few 737 typed pilots who have left Atlas for SWA. If you have purchased a 73 type, then you must have a strong interest in flying domestically ergo you are not interested in the Atlas kind lifestyle.

A B767 type may be a REAL plus in the very near future.

Patience, Grasshopper. This kind of thing takes time. A/C type, A/C, conversion slots, money, and a customer take a lot of effort and timing. If you haven't noticed, the US went through a rough patch the last couple of years, which may of had some affect on the process.
