Does Atlas hire low-time people with jet time? Asking as someone with 1000 hours 135/121 jet sic, but no TPIC time.

How are most Atlas pilots dealing with the lifestyle? Is it mostly night flying? Methinks that could take its tole on someone over time.

At least on the 747 some of your trips will take off at night. fly during the day and land at night. Sometimes the opposite- day-night-day.

12-13 hour legs crossing several time zones is hard on the body. Do it for a career and it probably will shorten your life slightly.

It sure seems like we do more night vs day.

No, there are still plenty of regional pilots with more than twice the hours you posted, waiting to get in. I haven't seen anyone with your published times get an interview.

The company pilot hiring web page still says 2000TT or 1500 if you are military or went through a 141 or 142 school. Limiting factor is the ATP.

study guide??

Any study guide anyone could recommend for the 74? I know there's cbt's and ground school, etc but Im a fan of having a question/answer study guide to carry with me and read through anywhere I am (ie. the toilet, starbucks, etc)
Starting class soon and like to hit some books before I get there
thanks!

Do not bother hitting the books before you get there. You're going to have two months in Miami and will have plenty of time there. Relax and get things squared away before you leave home.
