From: Ex USAF, ex-ATA , currently Atlas Air 747 CA
You'll get a 'footprint' for IOE most likely. That will be a 17 day period where your IOE may fall. If the queue is still backed up the same will happen the following month. At least that's how its working for those awaiting 747 upgrade IOE. It may be that the 767 side is caught up though.

I'll be starting class in late November and I'm looking forward to it!!! I read and re-read this thread so many times and its full of so much good info. I still came up with a few questions.
1. One guy mentioned that if you buy fake stuff in China, customs in ANC might catch you. Can anyone expand on this?? If I buy something like a shiny new laptop or camera in HKG tax free, will I get whacked by customs???
2. What are the options and alternatives to lugging a metal frame PNT bag up the ladder on the 747? How do you store your luggage on the 74/76? My intention is to carry the lightweight, expandable Travel pro roller bag I am using now, and then something like a backpack or duffel bag instead of the flight case I used to carry when I was flying an RJ.
3. Do any of the hotels let you keep a grab-bag on the premises? Keeping a coat handy in ANC seems to make more sense than hauling it everywhere.
4. I see Atlas guys can use Known Crewmember... is anyone using "Global Entry?" It is the trusted traveller program sponsored by US Customs. I ask because I have the same name as someone that skipped the country like 25 years ago and each time I come home to the US i have to waste 5-20 min of my time in the office.
Thanks for the info guys, and fly safe!

Just curious, when, did you get the "preferential hiring pool" offer? I know there are several of us still waiting for class dates.
