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.

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.

"Sorry no. The contract says parking at Gateway airport is the crew members responsibility."
This is another reason why we need gateway basing instead of bases AND gateways. With gateway basing the company would pay for parking at your gateway, because your gateway would be your base. And, if you lived in your current base (like you lived in mia), then your gateway base would be MIA, so no changes there...

No announced growth. In an odd hiring update, I'm not sure passing the test gets you a phone call anymore? Guy at breakfast saying his bud never got called after passing and I know one who never did either. Apparently this is common now? What is the point of that test then!?! Hopefully they are just behind in calls but his friend has been waiting for 4 months.
