I've jumpseated on Atlas a few times. Always a great ride but it does require just a little more work than the standard show up and list for a jumpseat. The Polar website does not show all Atlas flights. Also their schedule is subject to change so always have a backup. The way I've done it is fill out the online form on Atlas website, where it asks for a flight number just put an x. When you get to the bottom of the form there is a spot for additional information. I just simply state when and where I'm trying to go and if there are any flights that would fit my schedule.

You will normally receive a confirmation email from Atlas with the flight number and departure time the following day. I responded to the email and asked how to get to the aircraft in Santiago, Chile on my last trip. They sent me the phone number for Atlas Operations in Santiago. I called the number the day of departure and I met the crew and an Atlas rep in the Departure Hall of SCL where I was escorted through customs, immigration, and security.

All in all pretty easy you just have to ask the right questions.

 

All that LCF flying is going to make an ANR headset mandatory. Good deal for the folks who live in the northwest though.

 

Another west coast base is great news!

Oh wait, I'm equipment locked for another 21 months. CVG for lyfe.

 

28 Apr class confirmed. B747 class. Calls should be going out ASAP.

 

Already installed on all LCF's.

 

I received my call / email today. Will talk to DB tomorrow to confirm.

 

Congrats, sandstorm...your world has now shrunk by a large factor going from an RJ to the 747-400 and the 747-8.

Good luck in training, and hope to share a drink in Miami this summer!!

 

Sandstorm, where are you coming from...

 

Awesome, congrats. Class of 12?

Did my first leg of OE today.. Here we go!

 

I believe a class of 9, three 767 FO's to join after Indoc.
