misd-agin:
Atlas is a 121 operator. I'm not sure the FAA holds them to a lessor standard when they're flying parts.
I had forgotten they are Part 121. But, perhaps they were on a charter operation. Don't know
Not sure what you mean by "airport qualified for every Regular, Provisional, and Refueling airport..." I wonder how many guys have flown a 777 into Barrow, Alaska (6500') which is one of the options.
Airport qualifications can either be done by entry as a F/O or on the jump seat or by viewing a properly prepared video.
Are you saying some operators use Barrow as a refueling airport for 777s? Seems inadequate for that task.
