A word of caution to those seeking the entry level wide body international gig for those follow on “juicy” cargo jobs. A failure on your record, recently, at this level will be a discussion item in your next interview. Is it worth it for a $40-60k per year 737 job (pay is based on % of 747 tonnage).
Your prospects for flow and salary are much greater at the regionals. Atlas upgrades are at a trickle, and growing longer.

You must be fun at parties.

Montcalm, if the 777 is a must, I’d recommend Emirates. I’m sure you have the time to go in as an FO and 777 time is 777 time regardless if that type is on your FAA cert or not. When it comes to applying to a carrier at another country, they just care for the experience (where you got your type, I think, would be irrelevant). Just something to think about!

Have you been to Dubai SoFloFlyer? Or just basing your recommendations on the cool Instagram pictures and videos you’ve seen? Living/working there is much different than playing tourist.
Why is Emirates parking jets and possibly trying to sub-contract out their freighter flying? Oh yeah...not enough crews. Why? You better do some research.
Southern/Atlas is no dream job. However compared to being an EK slave one might thank their lucky stars to be working for a US carrier.

You guys are a weird breed. You all bash Southern then defend when compared to EK?
It was an alternative to flying for Southern. Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Some people like their job at EK, just like some like their job at Southern. Besides, I’m sure the poster would do their homework before considering EK. No one is gonna jump ship from an APC post. It was just a suggestion.
Relax y’all...
