Hi everyone, I’m a CA at a regional in the US , currently .
I will soon need to commute from South America , and my current schedule won’t allow that .
Looking into the 74’s 17/13 schedule , is this type of commute realistic ?
Also, I know the upgrade on the 73 is faster than the rest of the fleet , how’s the 73 schedule ? How many legs do you guys do per day, either on the 74 or 73?
Thanks so much for the info .

We have quite a few who live in South America and make the commute work.
Skip the 737, it doesn't work for you, and you make more as 747 FO than as a regular 737 CA.

Thanks for the info, i will be commuting from Buenos Aires, EZE.
I understand that the company wont provide a ticket to and from work in this case, any info on how to make this commute work? i take i would have to commute on my days off...
How long would it take to hold MIA?

I am showing an EZE flight once every 5 or 6 days... to SCL. Things change. You can always grab a cabin Jump Seat or just use miles. Or bid Secondary and hope to begin with a DH to SA. Not the most difficult location to commute from that I have heard of, but creativity and patience will be required.

I lived and flew in Japan for 14 years and get ready for a culture shock and I mean that in a good way. The Japanese leave nothing for chance and leave nothing to chance and go out of their way to make things perfect. It is in their DNA. When our contract ended the wife and I hated to leave. One tip, stay away from Negishi and the Gaijin living areas. Enjoy the culture, get a copy of the Hiragana and Katakana alphabet, there are 42 on each and easy to learn. Note, there are 3 alphabets and Kanji really hard to learn, if not impossible. Learning some language would be a big help, Even a little will go a long way with the Japanese. We lived in Zushi and at first, the only Gaijns in the town. Best move we ever made. Enjoy, you will not regret it.

[QUOTE=cfii2007;3647713]Regarding Atlas and other ACMI carriers....do they give preference to former 135 freight applicants or do they hire out of the 91/135 fractional/corporate ranks?[/QUOTE
New hires come from just about every path you can imagine. We are hiring so many folks that knowing who we are, what we do, and wanting to be here enough to properly prepare and study for the interview, that you will likely get an offer. But yea, first you have to get the call.
If you want to be not only competitive but also well prepared to succeed in training there are some better routes to take. Probably starting with one of the following, although someone will argue otherwise and I appreciatetheir take.
121 Route with Jet PIC
Ameriflight ME PIC, followed by 121 Jet experience.
Jet Fractional.
I would not go to 135 charter or straight corporate for two reasons. Likely lower annual flight hours, and that FSI / CAE training is not representative of the challenge you will face down in Miami.
At some point you probably need turbine PIC. Jet experience would help, but isn't mandatory. Previous 121 training experience would also help, but it isn't mandatory.
PM me if you want. I see that you have had quite a few questions over the past several months. I am sitting R2 Hotel reserve for another week and have all sorts of time.
