I know the 777 dos a lot of work for DHL Express (Bahrain hub of DHL) just wondering what are the major destinations they go to, a lot of Middle East or literally anywhere in the world like the 747?
Don’t choose the tail for the perceived stability.
777 is now fully integrated into one certificate and stands to reason that it will be used on more routes then previously.

Just applied, TT4000 TPIC 850. anyone here still in the Guard/Reserves? How is it getting off for drill. I'm sure they follow USERRA laws but do they help you get back if you need to leave a trip early (like for activation for a Hurricane). Other than that looking at either the 74 or the 76. Based on that if I live in the Orlando area are there any secret bases that aren't advertised? I saw that there was a Tampa Reserve assignment a few post back but not sure how it looks. Thanks!

The 777 currently has 2 customers:
8 of the 9 777s fly for DHL on various routes as dictated by DHL.
The remaining 777 flys for Caino (Alibaba) from Asia/LAX/Brazil/Chile.
These are relatively long-term, stable contracts that will not change in the near term. Unless airframes are added (doubtful with attrition/hiring challenges ) I do not see things changing anytime soon.

Is less time in the away from the house and less night flying attainable at Atlas? 767?

Is the 777 gone as many days in a row as what I hear about the 747?

How many days you hear about the 747? Before you answer, 17 in row goes senior.

Answer is I am no longer in the Guard, but when I was they were very quick to bring me back for mil duty. If possible, give them lead times so they can plan accordingly. Before pattern starts, I would let them know I have training dates or other duty requirements and they built it into my schedule. Never had an issue and they did follow USERRA laws and we do have person/committee that is allocated for military affairs, etc. It’s not like Atlas doesn’t understand military movements as we have been doing AMC work for decades. I am not aware of secret bases, but then again I never needed to care. Anyone else on here: “Where is the Rebel Base?”

What are the major DHL routes and destinations for the 777. Are their any 747 flying for DHL also, I was reading up on new contracts signed for my interview, hence the questions.

The BAH 777 flying has ended due to the withdrawal from Afghanistan. CVG is DHL’s major US hub with LAX being a secondary hub. The 777s mostly fly between those airports and ICN, HKG, SZX in Asia or go the other way to DHL’s major European hub of LEJ. There are other cities (ORD, JFK, MIA, ANC, EMA, MXP, etc) that come and go at the whims of DHL. The one constant in ACMI/CMI flying is change.

There are quite a few Atlas/Polar 747s & 767s flying for DHL. Polar is like an airline within an airline (Atlas). The Polar certificate is a partnership between Atlas (51%) and DHL (49%) and therefor solely flys DHL/Polar freight.

Thank you for all of the information. Looks like the 747 has a far more interesting route network with regards to global experience. To be honest if I’m offered the job I would take either aircraft but given the choice now go for the 747 going off the latest information.

I appreciate all the help, hope to join you soon.
