Hello,
Was offered a class for B767 8/23 and am quite overwhelmed and very appreciative.
My hope is to eventually hold Ontario since I reside in San Diego.
I apologise if the question was preciously asked or somewhere it's been posted but, can someone provide the typical routes the 767 flies out of ONT or even, in general should I be in CVG for awhile.
Thanks in advance. Honored to be part of the group.

Hey man - congratulations on joining . The 767 is a fun plane to fly and the crews have been awesome so far

out of Ontario there’s quite a bit of Amazon cross continental flying, some Honolulu and Guam crossings. I’m cvg based but when I glimpse the bid packages this is what I remember seeing.

out of cvg we get some Amazon domestic, some Europe flying (to Germany mainly these days) and some Asia flying.

Others will surely give better info that complements this.

Hey! Thank you much for the expedious info. Look forward to getting this going. Without a crystal ball, Is it practical to think I could hold ONT soon after class or does it go senior pretty quick?
Hope to see you in the air!
Safe flights!

By the time your 6 months of training is over you’ll be able to hold ONT.

Lately, they are sending whole classes home for weeks at a time, because we don't have enough simulators. That is VERY true for the 747...don't know about the training backlog on the other three airframes...

What’s gonna be….july 2023 or you already have it, make up your mind
Doesn't matter. Atlas is so desperate they are hiring pilots WITHOUT a passport OR a greencard...and this is NOT counting the Australians, who have a 5? year visa to work for us...

This IS misleading. If you are inside your pattern, you will get 1st/Biz class for intntl flights, and for itineraries over 4.5 block hours of flying. If it is Gateway/Alternate Travel, you may/may not get biz/first, depending on a wide range of factors. You probably will be in coach.

Union would not allow any special treatment.
Your best hope for that is for Apollo to figure out that giving pilots easy overseas commuting options would probably save them money, as they could get/keep more pilots wanting to live/travel extensively overseas.

I have had a LOT of luck getting the company to fly me to/from overseas locations all along. Last tourist trip in Spain, I was supposed to start my pattern in the US. I asked to start overseas. They flew me on KLM biz/first class to AMS to start my pattern....and then gave me an extra day in Spain...VERY nice!

I’m transitioning to the 74 this month, and I’m gonna try living in Spain close to my parents, will see how that goes. I didn’t even try while on the 73 because of our domestic flying but hopefully it’ll be doable on the new fleet.
