"Hi Creg, You decide yourself the cargo you want to take. In case you fly an Atlas charter flight cargo Lbs are given. cheers Luc"

Try to carry as much as possible; lets not burn fuel for nothing. Think about the company people!!!!!

"For scheduled flights (Polar, Emirates, etc), you can choose the load but it cannot be less than 50,000 lbs. Atlas charters show the load on their board. Ferry/Repositioning flights are usually empty."

Okay i looked at the pilot route assignments and this is what i deduced from the first flight. Plz inform me if i am wrong. 1572 Gregory S Swindle First Officer 2 SIN EK9865 Sunday 2 This is an EMIRATES SKYCARGO flight. Flight number for FSFK 5Y9865 <----- is this correct Leg 1 Leaving From singapore at 1630 local time and landing in Bangalor at approx 1810 on 01 APR 07 Leg 2 Leaving from Bangalor at 20:55 local and landing in Dubai at 22:25 Local on 01 APR 07 Load is up to me as long as its more than 50k Lbs I have a feeling this is wrong. I might be getting the info from the wrong place im getting it from the Polar Air Schedule and clicking on the box for SIN

"Yes, you would set up FSFK as an Atlas flight. EK9865 leaves SIN at 1630 local (0830Z) on Sundays and lands in BLR at 1810 local (1240Z), then takes off at 2000 local (1430Z) and lands in DXB at 2225 local (1825Z) on Sunday night. - I think you have the departure time in BLR wrong. It is 2000 local. - You are scheduled for week 2. It looks like there is no week 1 in April. This could be an anomaly in the current system. So, the date would indeed be 01 APR 2007."
