Atlas Air is hiring.
I think it is pretty easy to convert over to an FAA license and the medicals are quite easy, too. So instead of paying $14,000 to fly a 74-8, why not look into coming over and actually BEING paid to do the same thing. Training pay is $1,600/month and first year min guarantee flight pay is $3,750/month.
Atlas is looking for seasoned pilots who will be decent people to fly with on a 16 hour trip. And if it is the 747 that you want, we have plenty (including -8's).
EW
If enough pilots bail out of airlines that pay poverty wages, they will get the message...
