Right now guys are bidding CVG and getting it while in new hire training on the 74. 777 new hires can expect LAX for now. Staying in ANC on the 74 will net you the quickest line off reserve.

With the reduction of DHL flying, I am curious if the CVG base for the 747 and 777 will slowly draw down.

How likey to get hired as FO
I got out of flight instructing recently. Joined a regional and got out of sim and LOE. Did not make it out of IOE as I hit their soft limit and couldn't get the IOE completed. My plan is to be very forward as to what happened and show that I had learned from it.
I have applied to a few corporate positions didn't hear much from them; but was really interested in Atlas.
total time 1630
restricted ATP (45hrs of XC time will make me eligible for unrestricted).
1 checkride fail which was the first 121 checkride in the SIM.
Any advice would also be appreciated

Apply and get hired anywhere you can. Might need to CFI for awhile. Maybe someone like Mesa would take a shot on you?

I think you are really going to struggle finding a job. New hire training costs airlines many tens of thousands of dollars for each pilot that they hire, and to have both a checkride failure and a failure to complete IOE, airlines aren't going to want to take a risk on you. Right now, there are lots of low time pilots that are struggling to get hired that don't have the training failures.

Airlines would consider you a training risk at this point.

Training in my opinion wasn't the best with that company in general. I have done 7 other checkrides and also trained almost 20 people for checkrides during instructing with a 90% student first time pass rate. I can see when a place is lacking in proper training.

I don't work for them but Atlas isnt known as an airline to pick up other peoples slack and they take training events seriously. Especially with the accident not too long ago with that guy who hid his busts and training problems. Having trouble on the arrival/approach phase is the exact same scenario as that crash coincidentally. It's not uncommon to struggle with energy management in your first jet it happened to me too. Did your airplane have VNAV. What's a soft limit? You never made it to the line check? You won't get anywhere blaming the training department on your struggles though. The good news is you have a type rating in something.If it's a CRJ maybe you could use it to go fly right seat in a corporate challenger don't some of the types cross over?

It mainly was due to a few different reasons but came down to arrival to approach transition with speed going down and slowing down for me.

I’m not liking anything I’m reading here and being ‘upfront’ about it isn’t going to help you.
Only you can fix you.
Atlas is not a ‘second chance’ or ‘second choice’ kinda place.
We’ve had a fatal 76 crash with plenty of blame passed around but the main cause being an FO who lived in a state of perpetual denial as far as his skills were concerned.
Train wreck in training
Also let me explain something about 121 training, the goal is not to offer the best training.
The goal is average quality at an average cost with an acceptable drop out rate.
It’s not meant to guarantee 100% pass rate.
If you can’t pass IOE at a regional you will be murdered on the line at Atlas.
There will be very little enthusiasm to babysit you through an Arrival and an Approach in a country where nobody on the frequency speaks conversational English.
