I love the way that Evergreen makes it sound like they are the only one's in the world capable of flying these aircraft, Atlas has been operating the 747-400 series aircraft more than twice as long as Evergreen has been operating them!
Try for the last 12+ years.

Them's the breaks is correct..Boeing can do what ever they want. It's there planes and there contract. I think it would have looked better if they let EIA re bid and then tell them to go away. Who knows in 9 years they can yank the contract and give it to someone else without reason..Them's the breaks..
You pay attention in 8th grade English class?

Who cares whether it's Evergreen or Atlas pilots flying those ugly, odd shaped contraptions? Besides, how much prestige would a useless "Dreamlifter" type rating get you in the real world?
No special type rating for the Dreamlifter, Atlas already has 600+ typed 400 pilots.
