Thanks Herc and SkyJet. Just a tad nervous this is my first 121 training and I don't want to screw it up. And no, I don't know what aircraft I'm on, but my internal is pretty sure it's the 74. I honestly would be happy with either.

Anyone get called to interview in Feb?
I was told it's now a 2-day process with an aptitude test, tour of facilities on day one.
*(if you pass test) Sim eval. and HR panel on day two.
Hotel provided both days. Shuttle to and from DTW and hotel.
PM details, if you have current intel. PLEASE!

The new contract is not that good! It should be fog a mirror and your hired instantly. Fail to fog the mirror and your put in the hiring pool.
Damn Kalitta is now as uppity as Atlas!

Are you kidding me? A tour of the Kalitta facilities would take twenty minutes if you walked slow between building 1 and 2. 5 hours if you drive to OSC.
Let me save you the trouble. Watch an episode of the Brady bunch, the décor is just about like that if your PG. If not, it looks like a bad 70's porn flick.

on average, how many legs do you actually fly (you yourself, at the controls, I mean) .. I've heard sometimes at these ACMI carriers you can actually struggle to maintain your currency and have to go into the sim to regain it… I'm sure that's rare but could maybe happen w/ vacation or whatever.
I always feel the more you do something, the better you'll be at it; even when i've had a quirk in the my regional schedule and end up not flying for 10 days, I'm more "alert" (for lack of a better term) than I might be if it's leg 4 on day 4 where it's become pretty routine…
I'm concerned jumping to here (or Atlas) and learning the mighty 747 but hardly ever landing it could be a concern… or maybe not ?

Expect to do about 8-10 legs a month, and you'll be at the controls 1/3 of the time (assuming you aren't double crew). It takes a while to be completely comfortable.
