Atlas/Polar

[xrated]

Wait... you'd rather fly an Airbus than a 74 classic???


Stop eating crack, its bad for your teeth!

I'm just busting Whales chops. Besides, you don't "fly" an airbus, you just read the paper.

Sure it is (TIC)

Steam Gauges are nothing to be afraid of.

Could anyone elaborate a bit on the flying, such as destinations, trip length, days off, and basic scheduling? I have a strong interest in getting into Atlas and Polar but don't know too much about the operations. Also, what are the commuting policies, is there a preference that people have of Atlas Vs. Polar. Any information would be greatly appreciated.


Best regards and thank you for your time!

Steam what?!? I don't have any idea what you're talking about.

Follow the magenta line.

For those of you asking about Atlas schedules do a search in this forum, I posted an explanation not too long ago.

Magenta lines are for sissys!

Nine waypoints at a time baby!!! The only way to fly!

EXACTLY!

Having only ever flown steam gauges and with 20 hours of FMA 900 time I got to say, I'm really digging the magenta lines!

Depends upon the Airbus, my man. There is one model out there that is chock full o' steam gauges...

Back to the Polar / Atlas stuff.....

I understand Polar began another New Hire 747-400 class today and Atlas began a mixed class of -400 and -200 new hires today. Sounds like they still plan on running new hire classes every two weeks for the rest of the year. I have also heard they just upped the number of new hires needed at Polar significantly.

I heard 50+ guys hired on the Polar side so far. With another 50 or so by Summer.
