There lots of guys posting here that are either trying to get here and are relaying their interview experiences. And they are getting good (I try to do that and others are also) advice from current Atlas pilots.
Ok, I'm off the soapbox now. Sorry.
Yes, there are a lot of night flights.
And, yes, FO's are type rated on both the B747 or the B747-400.

Considering the range of the 747, you're likely to have some day flying in your night flight.

What "I" was told from the horse's mouth, "we" owe 17 days. Of those 17 the only ones that do not generate (4.85, I think that was the number) hours per day is Resident Standby.
"Period, NO exceptions."
Now, we can only hope that is correct because the silence from the Teamsters is defining.

When you successful Atlas candidates were updating your info, did you send the entire package i.e. Resume, Cover Letter, AND the PAQ with each update or just the Resume?
And how often?
Thanks

I hate to sound harsh...but, you gotta do the research. Nowadays, these forum-type websites are a type of research that you're just gonna have to do if you are serious about this or any other job out there.
There lots of guys posting here that are either trying to get here and are relaying their interview experiences. And they are getting good (I try to do that and others are also) advice from current Atlas pilots.

I am qualified, and very recently started an interest in Atlas. Your posts in the past, and many others in this thread are invaluable. I have gone through this entire thread to educate myself.
For all you know, this "candidate" may not have a regional job yet. What's wrong with asking a question twice in a 64 page thread? He is not the first.
Thank you for your perspective! Keep posting. Just trying to help your blood pressure.

I think he was just trying to make that point that if someone is really interested in the job, they'll do the research and read through the 64 pages on the thread...and invest 20 or 30 minutes of their time as part of their reseach on the company. There's a wealth of valuable information here. If each reader who stumbles across the thread posts the same questions without bothering to read the previous answers, the thread would be a lot less useful and hundreds of pages long.

Sometimes both on one flight. Case in point: This time of year you can leave Hong Kong in the wee hours of the morning, the sun comes up a few hours into the flight, then sets again before you get to Anchorage. And it's all in a little over a nine to ten hour flight -- depending on winds. This is just one example as there are others that you get to see the same.
