Sorry no. The contract says parking at Gateway airport is the crew members responsibility

Yeah, this was for the first 767 FOs transitioning to the 747, so I assume they could leave all the HR stuff out. Took them more than a week after the type ride to finish up.

767 initial was 7 weeks for me 3.5 years ago, and that was tight. The first time we had more than 1 day off was just prior to the Oral. There was a 747 class at the time that started before us and finished weeks after. (They had 10 days off for Thanksgiving, we had one)

Thing is - it doesn't really matter how long it took another class, just how long it takes yours. Holidays can complicate things, sims can break, but the basic footprint is right at 8 weeks or so.

As with all things Atlas, YMMV.

anyone know if Atlas is going to be in OBAP in April/Las Vegas?
i went to the OBAP website and FAPA, and i found Atlas has been invited but not confirmed yet..

I still don't see them in the attendees list, so it's beat to keep checking in hopes it changes...

So far it looks like only the regionals, UpS, Southwest, XO jet, Frontier, and Virgin America have confirmed

What are schedules like if you're Anchorage based? I live in Anchorage, so I have always been interested in Atlas.

Out of Anchorage on the 74 you'll get mostly DHL flying with some other random stuff thrown in as well(Boeing/LCF, Qantas, Panalpina, Etihad, etc). Typically scheduled for 16-17 days. 30 Day schedules will have anywhere from one long trip on up to 3 shorter ones. 60 Day schedules, 2 long trips up to about 5 or 6 shorter ones. The multiple short trip schedules can be nice if you live in base. A lot of commuters like to get the longer trips so they only commute once. Its pretty common to end up back in Anchorage for at least a day mid pattern on a layover which is nice.

If you get hired into the 76, you can usually commute on company planes direct to Cincinnati to avoid some imputed income tax and a painful multi leg commercial flight. They have some 76 lines flying out of Asia that start out as a deadhead over. You can ride company planes for that out of Anchorage and not lose any days for the commute. May actually gain some time off since the schedule for that has to be built based on a deadhead on day 1 of your schedule from your base(Cincinnati) and a deadhead back to arrive at your base on your last day. Once the schedule is built you can change to a deadhead originating and ending in Anchorage giving you more time at home due to the shorter deadhead.

Rumor has it at the WAI conference, atlas had no line all others we busy AA, JBL, UAL....Applicants were unimpressed with our presentation/company reps.

Atlas did not do fast passes and only was setup in the exhibit hall. Their "line" looked similar to everyone else in the exhibit hall. I did get to speak with a few people from Atlas and they were as friendly and receptive as anyone else I talked to. I was actually pretty impressed with who I talked to. She was very quick to discuss the 17 day scheduled trips and how that will affect family life.

I second what FFF said. Spoke with them on day 1 and 2-- Very friendly and a pleasure to talk with. They had just as many applicants as everyone else. Won't name any companies, but there were others at WAI that were not really inspiring to talk with. I'm hoping for an email from Atlas to take the online quiz soon!

Thank you!
