The 777 seems to be the exception but as that fleet grows I have no doubt it will get managed more like the 747 where you start out blocking a bunch of hours then your schedule changes to dh and sitting around until your crt and block come out almost equal. No line guarantee either so youll probably get rig most months and 62 in training and vacation and sick months so figure at least half the year you are at min the other half maybe better but don’t plan on it.

Hi, I'm currently working for a foreign LCC (not in the FAA system). Am a Captain on the 737-800 (NG/MAX). 11,000 TT, 5000 JET PIC. I feel that a furlough is impending, so I'd rather do it to myself than have it done to me (I think). I just applied to AtlasAir this past week. No word as yet. Are they still taking folks on?

What is the most junior fleet with Atlas? Am a family man, with a standard household (Mrs, kids etc etc). Any ideas on which fleet would be most family friendly? I understand that it's a cargo outfit where one may be away from 2 weeks at a time possibly, but given the circumstances, how would one play this hand the best they can (from a family perspective)?

767 out of CVG gets me home reliably on the months I need to be home. I wind up going overseas for AMC or DHL other times. Roughly where about is your family?

Well, as an update, I’ve been let go by my employer after double digit years of employment. They didn’t let go out of seniority. Oh well. Am looking to this Atlas gig as my only chance really towards meaningful employment.
