Any "Latest & Greatest" About Atlas?

[Miami Freight]

That thread really got confusing. HOURBUILDER where exactly do you live? If you are more than 130 miles from MIA you will have gateway. There is some logic for not bidding MIA as your base. First, you will have to sit in the hotel when on reserve. The room is about $100 a night which will show on your W2 as income costing you a percentage equal to your tax rate. Lets say 24%. That's $24 a day out of your pocket. On the other hand if you are fairly close, Daytona, Fort Meyers or so you can at least drive and you will get about fifty cents a mile reimbursed as well as perdiem which is also taxed but it's cash. Also if you can drive you are in more control of when you come and go. So it depends on where in FL you live. If they fly you to base you will be arriving in time to have legal rest. For CVG, HSV this will almost always mean early the day before your assignment. Reserve at MIA actually goes pretty senior because of the great number of us who live within an hour drive. We get to sit reserve in our living rooms. JFK is probably a good choice. As it was pointed out not many flight originate or terminate there. The company will fly you, on their time, to where they need you. Pretty good deal, you incur not taxable income from that flight and it within the footprint of your pattern.

How does HSV, CVG, and LAX all compare with type of flying, typical patterns, hotel for reserve etc. (I realize you can be sent anywhere).

Jepp ship sets. EFBs are supposedly in the works, for the 747, anyway.

We only have to carry one manual around, and soon that'll go electronic.

Who knows, maybe the guy has killer qualifications but is terrible at interviewing.

With what's going on in the ACMI world right now, they have no shortage of apps from experienced operators. That said, they do like to interview people from a wide range of backgrounds.
