1 week Indoc, 1 week general subjects, 1 week off to complete CBTs (your systems), then off to SITs/SIMS for 6 weeks or so.
You'll get your initial schedule on day 1, with your iPad and all your manuals.
Advice: read FCOM 2 (systems) from day one. Systems systems systems, vital to pass the oral.
Advice 2: read FCOM 1 (normal/amplified procedures), with your flows on the other hand.

how long is ground school? How long are sims? Any breaks in between?

welcome to AAWW. Plan on 70 days in Miami.
who care, it doesn’t matter, it will change anyway. If you’re already asking scheduling questions, this isn’t the airline for you.

Osan Leater Jacket
Too much stuff and too many leather jackets. Selling my SAI leather jacket made in Osan. $100 plus shipping. Size 44, removable faux fur liner and blood chit. Lightly worn/used. PM me. Prefer to sell it to a former SAI pilot.

For the Southern folks --
How many classes (and for which airframes) do you all have scheduled going forward? Right now at Atlas, we had the last update put out by the union:
767
November 30
747
November 2 (started yesterday)
December 7
With the numbers they're hiring and projecting for 2021-2022, it looks like there's likely some new growth announcements coming in the near future.

Will there be a class starting soon?

For instance, a recent poolie was given an XXXX date for the 777. He asked if that was Southern, and Atlas said yes. He said he would wait for the next Atlas 747 class. They told him it might be a while. They called him a month later for the 747 class, but he was already somewhere better.
Atlas 747 pay is higher than 777, and, from what I have read, it is easier to get more than min guarantee on the 747, than the 777.
Atlas 767 pay is less than 777, and 737 pay is at the bottom.
