I meet the wide body minimums but I am wondering if a low-experience first officer like myself would have trouble making it through type training with an ATP in a 767/777/747. I have not been through any sort of 121 training. Is it likely that I would even be hired onto a wide body with my flight experience?

I’d imagine the transition would be a lot to stomach. My hunch tells me they would prefer applicants with 121 time, but in this day and age, it may be worth a shot applying now with no prior 121 time with the way hiring has been going. It’s been done before with applicants with no prior 121 time, though you would likely need to study harder than your classmates who have prior 121 experience.

Probably a post Houston thing.

No prior 121 time will be a problem, but not an insurmountable one. You will have to try harder regardless of fleet type. But people in your position have been successful before.

Does Atlas require new hires to have the covid vaccine? Do they give exemptions?

Atlas is an international airline. The pilots have to comply with the rules of other countries. Atlas can't control the laws of other countries. So...

Looks like the pathway program is gone from their application site?

I have a CJO from 2 NOV and have not heard anything from them other than they have my signed CJO. The lack of information come from Atlas is disconcerting for sure.
