This came in handy when I made a last minute decision to catch a earlier flight home and I had 10 minutes to make that decision.

To answer your question, I don’t have the exact list. It’s not very long…

Ok thanks for the info

Here is the list from our union website (see bottom right)

We have been non-reving (even with kids) for years; mainly around Australasia and Europe and have been going alright.

Do you px at Atlas a lot on your roster to make it worth collecting miles or just through the Gateway arrangement?

Default 777 v 747

Hi all,

I’ve sent in an application, still waiting to hear back. Just wondering if anyone here has experience flying both the 777 and 747? I think the 767 / 747 have both been covered but wondering about practicalities and QOL on the 777?

Thanks all

Thank you
Gateway gets you some miles but at least on the 747 there’ll be some international DHs and since it’s business or better the miles add up. And about once or twice a year a positioning flight to or a return from Europe or Asia will get you to the higher levels of status.

“Thank you for expressing an interest in Atlas Air. We are a global leader in outsourced aviation providing cargo, charter, leasing and passenger operations – we move the world forward, bringing 30 years of expertise to support our customers.

The Company is an equal opportunity employer and considers applications from all qualified candidates. In compliance with federal law, all individuals who accept an offer of employment with the Company will be required to verify their eligibility to work in the United States prior to commencing employment. As part of your application, you indicated that you will need to obtain authorization to allow you to work as a pilot in the United States. This process will need to be completed before you can begin employment as a pilot with Atlas Air.

At this time we are currently experiencing long delays with USCIS (United States Citizen and Immigration Services) in processing Company-sponsored immigrant visa applications and current turnaround time can be up to 24 months. We are doing all we can to expedite this process for candidates.

Thank you again for your interest in joining our extraordinary team! We will be in touch with additional information regarding our interview and application process.”

New Hire with a 767 class date on 7/12. Going to be using the Gateway travel program out of ORD. I noticed in the CBA mileage, tolls, parking, etc. are not provided by the company. Since ORD is an Atlas base am I able to park over on that side of the airport where the 74 guys, who live in the base, park? If so is there a way to get a ride to the pax terminal or am I stuck with Uber?

TIA

Regional FO here looking for greener pastures and Atlas has always been a top choice. I've been flying a RJ for a few months and racked up around 200 hours. I know Atlas is hiring wet ATPs on the 737 and it looks like they're wanting 500 turbine for the wide bodies. Has anyone had an experience with getting offered a wide body class with sub-500 hours of turbine/121? I'm not super interested in the 737 because of the lack of ability to fly. Worth it to apply now or just wait it out until I get the 500 hours (should have it this fall) to get offered a wide body class? I could see myself at Atlas for the long haul but wouldn't want to turn down a CJO if all they can offer is the 737.
