It’s all relative. My commute usually takes 13+hrs one way and 2 stops. I can’t wait to get a different location.

If you have more than 48hrs of heavy rest, they owe you a ticket home.
If home is SEA or similar, it's a good deal. If you live somewhere on the east coast, well, the bartenders at Darwin's will know you pretty well.

Thank you for the info , now let’s keep fingers cross and hope to get the good news email soon. Hope to get my first choice 74, and base ANC , I don’t know how many vacancies are for ANC base on the last bid , someone any info ?

All 747 new hires go to ANC.

hello everyone, quick question, any got the good news email yet from December interview ?

Commute
 

Thats my concern as well, so as much as I want to fly the 747 I think I will initially just go for the 777 and either a CVG or LAX base. Probably do 18 months in Dallas to build seniority and have a fairly straight forward commute to either of those bases. Plus QF goes direct to Australia from Dallas on the A380 so good for traveling home, vacation etc.

Maybe after 2 years and some decent seniority have a look at the 747 and avoid the ANC commute all together.

Hi all, pretty keen to join the Atlas family next year but was hoping to get an idea of time frame and start date flexibility before I hit submit on my app. I realise everything is subject to change, but if for example I was to interview in Jan, would it be be acceptable/possible to ask for a July/August start date? Or do they not look that far ahead and should I only be applying with 3ish months from when I’d be able to start?
Am keen to get the ball rolling but need to make sure the timing is right with the family so I don’t want to peak too early and have them tell me you can start in 3 months or not at all. (Obviously I realise I might just get put in a hold pool(or fail the interview) and have very little say in the matter, but would appreciate peoples opinions on how flexible Atlas are with start dates)

Is the 777s rest area the standard “bunk beds” above and below style to the left of the flight deck?

Above and below just behind the cockpit on the left side.

QF stopped flying to DFW when covid hit.
DFW to ANC is an easy 2 legger. Stop either in DEN if you like UA, or SEA if you want AA.
