I am guessing it’ll be a slow but inexorable transition to the 777, you can’t deny the efficiency and fuel is king. But the Whale will always have a niche with the nose-loading capes. I’ll wager Connie is circling like a hawk, waiting for someone to park some -8s.

A few more questions from a new hire:
1. How is training on the 747? I have Boeing experience, and come from the 121 world. When I read the thread in the cargo section about Atlas, Southern, or other ACMI operators washing out new hires, it gives me pause. If I put in the effort - and I know in the ACMI world, a lot more effort is required - will positive results be there?
2. How many more classes are they holding this year?
3. Any other advice as I get ready to start class. Really looking forward to joining you guys.

2 - No idea, but previously was every 3 weeks, 16 person classes. I had heard they dropped the classes to half the size and possibly only 767 recently.
3 - The training program absolutely works. You can come in with 0 prep and pass first attempt no problem. Just follow their plan. If I had to choose something to prep ahead I'd do limitations and systems for the Knowledge Validation 3 weeks in.
Good luck and welcome!
