On the 747, zero chance of LAX as a NH…probably 6–12 months. On the 777 LAX/767 ONT, about a 50/50 chance. If you don’t get that as a NH you should be able to get it before finishing training.
All fleets have the same schedule. You owe the company up to 17 days a month. Some lines are 17 straight, some are split into multiple shorter trips over a 30 or 60 day period. It all depends on what you bid and what you can hold.

Agree with you elevation when it comes to hiring our very own from the soil we grew up on if at all possible but not an absolute and that is just me. The outlier is the attitude regardless of generation. Not asking anyone to be grateful, incredibly humble or eat humble pie - just respect the industry and what it cost for those prior and currently employed to get here and make it what it is today no matter the outfit. It appears not everything can be taught/learned. Not advocating for the company to fix it’s issues with help from outside, but I would rather fly with those who exhibit professionalism regardless if their intent is to move on and I will always wish them the best in their endeavors!
*Just speaking for myself. I was grateful to be hired here many moons ago coming in from the military at a time having just over 5,000 hrs when you were lucky to be looked at. Plenty of PIC, hvy turbine, Instructor, definitely not needed Masters Degree, etc. Learned many more nuggets for my bag of tricks from the long timers here and others after. Either way, I still have a ton of friends at other outfits especially at Purple and Brown, most of which were before I arrived here constantly busting my chops to jump ship. Grass may seem greener, but its not always the case and even if it were you still have to mow it. Turns out this is my niche purely based upon my own priorities and nothing else. Everyone is different but we all have only ONELife. Choose wisely if and when you have the option. It’s not for everyone, but there is goodness here let’s bring it up as best we can.

Recency of experience however you can pull it off. Regional, corporate, etc. as you already have both 121 and 135 experience nothing will be new to you. Never make the shot you don’t take and apply, but getting back in the game somewhere will definitely help. Others may more insightful inputs.

I don’t see any recency of experience requirements in the minimum qualifications on the Atlas job posting. You are obviously not legally current to act as a required crewmember since you haven’t done any BFR/PC in 10+ years, but I don’t know if Atlas would require that prior to interview/employment or not. Technically, the training and PC at the end would suffice for those legalities.
However…it wouldn’t be wise to be offered a job and show up for training not having flown at all in 10+ years. If nothing else spend some time doing some instrument flying with an instructor to knock the rust off and get some proficiency and confidence.
It can’t hurt to try! Don’t be surprised if they would want to put you in the 737 with that long away from flying.

Also, I would be ecstatic to get offered a position in the 73!!

Recommendation letter
Hi everybody! I am trying to get a job at Atlas Air but I `ve got no call yet. I flew Erj 190 for 10 years and now I am flying 738, both part 121. It seems I need a recommendation letter to get to the door, any suggestions how to get one?
Thanks!
Thanks!
