My logs are 30 plus years old and pretty comical compared to the way younguns keep records today. Think copied pages from the little red book type of records. My thoughts on the post mortem of the interview is as follows and Im posting purely for the people that are trying to get hired now at Atlas.
Record keeping is important. Newer generation pilots keep things like electronic records. (plus)

All fleets.
You can request your fleet in the interview, but Atlas will assign you to a fleet based upon your experience, availability, and preference. The New Hire seat locknis only two years, so if you get the 767 but wanted the 777, well, enjoy the landings and segments the 76 offers, then bid out of it during one of our near-monthly system vacancy bids.
737 goes to the lower experienced folks.
Pay year one is essentially identical for all fleets. Hourly rate is the same and you'll probably credit 64 hours per month no matter the fleet. Year 2 is where you start to see a difference (Hourly Rates), and year 3 probably starts the big shift towards the 747 being the flying money bag (Seniority to hold higher credit lines and Open Time).

There is tremendous movement within bases and we have near monthly vacancy awards allowing you to move into nearly any base by the time you finish OE, or at most Year 1 (IAH 747 the biggest exception). Today's reality doesn't guarantee tomorrow's results.
Probability for new hire is 747 ANC. That is only because our 747 has the most crews and biggest need.
We are hiring for all widebody fleets. I'd say 767 CVG and 777 LAX are about equal odds.
If you want the 767, and ask for it in your interview, you'll probably get it. If you are lower time, or limited Jet or 121 time, the odds of the 767 probably increase. Lots of Shiny Jet Syndrome surrounding the 777 and 747.
Occasionally 777 New Hires are sent to CVG.

Sorry, this is not currently correct. There are a lot more slots on the 77 and 74 then on the 767. Additionally, due to perceived QOL issue, the 767 has become highly requested airframe. One is more likely to be assigned the 77 or 74 then to the 76 as there just not enough slots for everyone that asks for it.
From 01 December 2023 on the March seniority list we have 88 new 747 FOs, 43 new 777 FOs, and 36 new 767 FOs. These numbers don't acount for class size and attrition, just who was on property 5 weeks ago. Granted, the current list may show a greater split when looking at the latest classes for the 777 and 767.
So how about this, 747 50% odds, 777 30%, and 767 20%? +/- 10%

Ya do realize I did say the best odds were for the 747. And I said "about," when comparing the twins.

Thusly, the advice that "if you ask for the 76 you will likely get" is inaccurate. Many candidates express discontent when they don't get what they ask for.
The 76 fleet isn't growing while the 77 knows no bounds, for hiring one can expect further attention to the two larger airframes.
