Also are you gone for 3 months in training with no chance to go home and see your family? Or do they give you some weekends off to go home?

Also are you gone for 3 months in training with no chance to go home and see your family? Or do they give you some weekends off to go home?

You will be in MIA for 9 weeks. There are some breaks, maybe two or three days off, so it depends on how close you live to MIA. You will most likely have some time off between MIA and IOE on the line, anywhere from a week to three or four weeks, depending on how backed up the training is.

I got a 56 on that test. Wow...that thing was tough. I studied the ATP written for an evening and that did absolutely no good. Haven't heard a peep and certainly don't plan on a call with a bomb score like that. Best of luck to you guys. It would have been fun flying the 74 again.

To think a master level score is a 65%!!!! Ouch. If SDSU would've had a grading curve like that when I was there, I would have been an A student

I got a 78 but they told me to pound sand, so don't feel bad.

Holy powers of retention Batman! My memory sucks. I remembered a total of 2 or 3 questions.

 

[teeb57]

Yup, me too. Probably cuz most of that stuff is done for us every day

That sounds like a pretty tough exam, but considering the kind of flying Atlas does, the places they go, etc., maybe not entirely out of line. Especially if they have thousands of guys to weed through, and only a handful of positions on offer.

Folks can argue all day long about where the best jobs are, but when it comes to people, the guys who fly International, ACMI ops are as good as anybody out there. They are, because they have to be.
