Not ABX...we only have 200 ish pilots total. Plus no upgrade restrictions. We had a FO at one time with 1800 total time and 0 PIC turbine upgrade to DC8 captain and made it......this was a time when ABX had a 50% washout rate on the 8 and they were proud of it! Plus it's tough to get a pod strike on the 767....I am sure it's been done but not at ABX.

You realize this is an Atlas thread yes?

Not good news for the King Air Pilots they’ve been hiring in recent years from ISR, but anyone with 2-3 years of regional time in a CRJ 200/ ERJ 145 or bigger should be fine.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the language in that FOM bulletin has a note right below it that says it is waiverable by management.

These requirements are not driven by Level C vs Level D, they are driven by what has already been stated (hard landings, unstabilized approaches, etc).

Is the wrinkled 767 a write-off?

41,000 lbs isn’t that big of an airplane. These seem like minimalist requirements to be a captain on a heavy going to places that most people have never heard of. I know that you guys don’t fly as many hours every month as those at Delta or United and this could take time for some, but then again being a captain at an ACMI carrier is much more demanding than being a captain at a company that has vast resources in place every time the jet lands. The job that you do is way more difficult than what the legacy carriers do and requiring some quality experience before you are handed the keys to a heavy is a good thing.

No, it's getting straightened out.

No pun intended.

I don’t by any means disagree with you. The main point is that, when Atlas tells people that they’ll be a captain in 18-24 months, it’s a bold faced lie. Particularly on the Southern side of the house, and whenever they hire guys with no 121 experience.

Which means you need 1500hrs of “big” airplane time so that’s at the most 3 years if you come from a smaller plane.
