Fullboat2,
Think of it this way...it is an extra type rating that you will have...because the guys that get the 400 now will never (??) get to go to the Classic in their Atlas careers. The Classic's tenure at Atlas is not very long, but I've been saying that for 10 years!!
That said, the Classic is still a good airplane and does make lots of money for the company...don't let 400 pukes like me tell you any different. I was on the Classic for a long time, and it is now a niche airplane for us.
None of our airline ACMI customers want it, but it is the best airplane for the USAF.
Enjoy it, and congratulations.

I have been following the thread for a while, I just got the call for phone interview and I was told to take the online assesment tomorrow any tips other than what has been posted? I know i might be jumping the gun but do you get paid while in training?

Congrats on passing the phone interview!
Tonight when you download "Ace The Technical Pilot Interview" and read it cover to cover, before you turn off your computer, read every post on this thread before asking anymore questions..
A great many similar questions have been asked.
Good Luck!
