Found the "mastery score" but from what I've read on here that's not really your actual score?? Correct?? I found a couple spots where there is a place for the score but it is blank. Any help?

Default 5 months on the line....

I have been getting numerous questions from friends and other pilots interested in Atlas and wondering most what the schedule is like. I am sure those of you interested in working here have read every page of this thread in detail and know you owe the company 17 days a month (and they can extend you up to 4 days to "protect the operation etc"). The schedules vary here drastically and I just went through my last 6 months of flying and will post it on here to give some insight what a new hire might expect. After talking with my classmates, the trip lengths are hit and miss and not only depends on seniority, but base as well (I am JFK based). Like many of my classmates, I have only gone over the 50hr monthly guarantee a couple of times. At Atlas, (just like most ACMI carriers) seniority really doesn't mean more days off or better trips. Seniority only means you get the days off you want.

Some key points with my schedule.

- 3 extensions total in 6 months.
- I am JFK based and use the gateway basing system and it has been 50/50 if I travel to JFK and have to pay tax or not on the airfare and hotel.
- I have NEVER started a trip and finished it as it was printed when I started. My schedule has always changed.
- I try to bid for "shorter" (7-10 day) trips. There are fewer 7-10 day trips compared to 16-17 day trips. I could easily have bid for longer length trips which some guys here love.

My OE trip was 17 days long and the rest of my schedule has been as follows. I think it's easier to just put it in list form.

T = Trip day length
R = Reserve days Length (home reserve unless noted)
X = Days off length

17T (OE)
8X
1R
11T
1R
5X
4R (sitting base reserve)
2X
15T
10X
8T
14X
17T
5X
6T
7X
1R
11T
2X
1R
11T
5X
2T (Training)
6X

Hopefully this gives those interested in working here a better idea of our schedules. This is just my schedule and a product of what I bid and my junior seniority level. My classmates and other pilots will have something completely different.

Atlas is not a conventional 121 airline and it can be a tough decision if it is the right lifestyle for you and/or your family. Best of luck to all!

No joy on the score. Any info/guidance on how to get it is much appreciated. I saw the info on previous threads (login, go admin, reports, etc). Tried that and the only option I have under admin is to edit my profile. Will a reports option appear in a few days?

I'm very excited to hear that (of course if it is true)!
cheese, the projected growth optimistically is tripling the fleet with between 25-35 76s, keeping the 28ish 400s, and taking all of the -8s on order of 12 as well as the options of 14. of course remember the guys hired in 00-01 were told 1.5 yr upgrade and are just upgrading now or close. luck and timing!!!

HKG, SYD, HNL, and SIN in the Pacific Rim.

LUX, MXP, and DXB in Europe and Middle East.

Even places in Africa can be good layovers with the right crew...you can always get together for drinks and dinner in a good hotel in Nairobi, Johannesburg, etc. And a lot of us have done at least the day safari somewhere in Africa...and some have done overnight ones also.

This month for me is as follows...

I'm in DXB on Day 3 of the first trip...

Day 1 DH from home to CVG
Day 2 Operate CVG to BAH, DH on EK to DXB (Business Class), 18:50 duty
Day 4 Operate DXB to PVG, 31 hours layover
Day 6 Operate PVG to DXB, 16 hours layover
Day 7 DH on EK DXB to HKG (Business Class), 22 hours layover
Day 8 Operate HKG to CVG
Day 9 Go home for 14 days

Trip 2 this month...

Day 1 Operate JFK to ANC, 26 hours layover
Day 2 Operate ANC to ORD, 29 hours layover
Day 3 Operate ORD to MIA.
Day 4 go home
Day 5, and 6 on "R1" (Residence Reserve)
Sounds great... Thanks for the post!

Under the Administration tab click Reports, then My Status, then under the ID column click the number of your Course Title and this will bring up your Enrollment Record, which will contain your score.

I do not have a "reports" option under the admin tab. The only option I have is to edit/update my profile. What am I doing wrong?

Does it show that you passed? If so, don't worry about it. They're going to tell you in the tech test review portion of your interview anyway.
