JFK 747 trips varied widely. You will fly trips out of every base. most patterns 6-16 days, but some 1,2,3,4 or 5 day patterns. Heard MIA 747 also now lots of varied trips.
Basically, no reserve on the 747....this is NOTHING liked a regional. 767 does have CVG reserve, and some CVG airport reserve. Talked to a 767 guy who lived close to CVG. He does R3 (airport reserve) at home.

That's what I figured some of these guys were being whiny lol. I flew an emb145 and crj200 before this and THAT was loud. The 145 I'm saying so if tuna can is quieter than crj I'll be happy. I guess we'll find out soon.

A billion-dollar airline that relies on FOs to bring rubber bands, trip envelopes and swipe laundry bags from the hotel to run smoothly.
That's Atlas in a nutshell.

Since there is no crew rest area in the 76, I'm guessing you normally fly with 2 pilots? And max day must be around 12 hours or so?
Also, how about the difference in the cockpits. I would think that the 767-200s and 300s are older and not glass? Vs. the 747 are almost all updated correct? Difference in comfort / how loud in cockpit? I saw earlier in this thread that the 767 freighter sounded like a train inside.

No cockpit differences to speak of as far as gauges. A brand new 767-300 looks the same as the first one off the line back in the day (only ones different are the ABX Flat-panel conversion and 767-400, we have neither).

I actually had one CA remark "Well, most FOs remember to do that." I responded "Oh, I remembered. It's just not my job." End of conversation.

Atlas got FAA approval to use the iPad in the aircraft a few weeks ago.
Jan the 1st quarter Distant Learning (CPAT) comes out, with an iPad/Jepps module...when each pilot completes the online training, they are certified to use the iPad on the aircraft without restrictions.
Also, several Check Airman are already approved to use the devices in all phases of flight.

Atlas won't even clean the planes. This is not an airline it is an outfit.
