What's life like on the 76 nowadays? Are those bids typically 17 days as well or more broken up?

On the 74 side (and 76 for that matter) how likely is it to get forced to stay out longer than 17 days with them being so short handed?

Okay, thanks. I will try not to read too much into it, while watching the phone. ��

Patience guys. For the month of September, including tomorrow's class, there have been 61 new hire slots and a rumored 100 slots for the next round of interviews! Doesn't look to be slowing anytime soon either.

New on the forum. Can someone provide info on Loadmaster positions with Atlas? Think is a better way to get your foot on the door? Already have ATP with some Part 135 experience. Avoiding Regionals....

You wouldn't want to be a loadmaster, anyway - those guys get used and abused. It's standard to have loadmasters or PSRs who hadn't been off the jet in days on the pax 767s. They "bathe" by using the lav sinks or, when they're really lucky, using the potable water drain under the tail.

I got an email 5 days ago that said I have until the 30th of Sep to be considered for the upcoming interview sessions. Does this mean I could interview in Miami in October?
