I know it's been hashed out before but is LAX still a crew base?

Yes, LAX is still a crew base but I believe it was downsized on the last base bid. ANC seems to be the growing base.

I received the call for an interview in Miami, but I didn't recently receive the call for a phone screening/online test. I did those a few months ago.

Are you saying that on a 3 or 4 pilot crew, you log the entire flight(time at the controls and not) as SIC? Or do you mean you log just your time at the controls, regardless of seat(FO or IRO), as SIC?

I am completely ignorant of 121 augmented crew standards and regs.

I used to have an ATIS that I recorded on my phone (from a place I should not mention) that said...

1. Caution...small arms fire in the vicinity.
2. Caution...Rocket Propelled Grenades have been reported.

And no, that was not at LAX, or JFK, or ORD!!

Ergo, I haven't seen most guys putting gnats ass logbooks together---logging instrument time, night etc. You'll have a PIC rating in either the 74 or 76 when you leave training. If you're going to interview somewhere else after Atlas, print off your company log and take it with you. You better not claim IRO as PIC anyway in an interview and as far as SIC goes, if you're operating, you're required to be there by the company and I haven't yet heard of third in command time yet.

Cheers.
