Anyone have a good forecast on how long it would take a new 747 FO to get to HSV? Also are the trips out of HSV mainly 17 out and back? Or is it a crap shoot wherever you go?

Crap shoot. It seems that all 30 day lines are 17 day blocks and most, if not all, 60 day lines are split into 3 different trips. In other words your 34 day obligation for 2 months is divided by 3 and they may not evenly divided it could be a 4 day a 17 day and a 13 day.

In other words, you said it best, a crap shoot.

Cheers!!

You'd probably be able to hold HSV by the end of your first year, but be ready to see a ton of Africa for a few years. If you stay in ANC you'd probably be able to bid trips that start out of Chicago around that time. I've been here 3.5 years and I'm just now in the top half of FOs in HSV and HSV is junior excluding ANC.

Remember under Atlas logic if you were to get a Hong Kong out base, the last place you'll go is Hong Kong.

I wish there was a BIG "like" button for this. So true for every out base.

Can anyone explain this from the CBA?
"Gateway Travel by air shall be coach class and shall be booked on a carrier of the Company’s choosing. Further, Gateway Travel may be provided on Company aircraft. Nothing herein shall preclude the Company from providing Gateway Travel via other than air transportation."
BL if I'm gatewaying from a small airport in Easter NC, OAJ to ANC can I expect a confirmed ticket all the way to ANC? Or will they potentially get me to another location to link up with a company aircraft IOT get to ANC? Also I thought it was business class or better....not coach?

Does anyone know what the net pilot gain has been over the last few years of hiring? Or, of the 84 pilots hired, as referenced above, how many pilots left during that period?

Just curious to see how much more Atlas can hire at the current rate.

those are openings...not new hires....looks to be about 60 pilots total gained over the past year or so.... I am sure a "giant" will come along and get it totally accurate.

Business class or better is for international flights that are part of the pattern. (And also for duty days over 16 hours.)

Gateway is coach, with a few rare exceptions that will only confuse this conversation.

In your scenario they might commercial you to CVG or ORD and put you on a company airplane to ANC, which most of us would prefer since the back seats in a 74 are way better than 22B in a 737. In any case getting you to ANC is their problem, not yours. No one at Atlas is jumpseating to a crashpad.
