Do you think that means the pool will be drained? Still swimming

After all the training slots for the 767 are determined, it is likely that the hiring and therefore class size will increase...to a point. Since we have now created 20 "vacancies" on the B747 staffing by awarding Captain positions to them, it will mean filling those vacancies, and hiring the 767 FO's...all at a time when we are adding airframes, and planning for B747-8 deliveries.

So, my personal opinion is that there will be an acceleration in hiring for the next few months.

Good luck.

Is there a ground school date for the new 767 captains yet? Trying to get a feel for how soon the need for new pilots will be! (insert need for ME)

Atlas Air Boeing 767-300 Combo Aviation Design - Modified Airliner Photos

Someone has way too much time on their hands to come up with that picture...

And no dates have been announced yet for the 767 Captain training.

Thread jack...

Looking at the hiring requirements, how does Atlas look at military fighter time? I don't meet any of the requirements for FMS/Heavy experience.

It's NOT a requirement;

First Officer Preferred Experience:

FMS experience
Long-haul pilot experience
FAR 121 experience
Heavy aircraft experience
They've interviewed/hired plenty that didn't meet the preferred experience.

I didn't have any FMS/Heavy/Ocean crossing time when I was hired (Feb). Although I've heard it is a question on the pre-interview stuff now?

A good friend of mine was hired earlier this year with nothing but S-3, EA-6B, and EA-18G time. Now a 747-200 FO. Has made a few "carrier landings" in the Whale, but otherwise doing well and enjoying Atlas a lot.
