I started making my way through this thread a few months ago, and I've gotten about half-way through it (I stopped for a while and recently started again). Just got a call out of the blue yesterday from Atlas and the HR guy left a message. Tried calling him back yesterday and got voice mail. Finally got him today and he said he'd call me back in an hour. Never heard back from him, so I finally called him back, and once again got voice mail. Anyone know if this is typically how it goes with the initial phone call? Should I keep calling back or wait for the HR person to call me?

I just finished, as well...just hanging out at home until my IOE availability starts (getting to bid for your OE footprint is very new to me). The short course was great...just enough time to learn the new procedures and flows, but not too long. Just about perfect for someone current and typed.

See you guys at the CVG sort in a couple weeks.

I had a similar situation with my initial call. I missed it, called back, no answer, then played phone tag a couple times. I would stay on them without being annoying about it...I would suggest trying again on Monday if you don't hear back today. They're busy, but they won't forget about you. Congrats on getting the initial call!

I guess I got worried too fast, the call finally came. Now I have to take the online test by Monday. I know there is a ton of gouge posted on here in various places, but does anyone have a good consolidated file that has everything you need? I confess I sort of forgot about this over the last couple of months and didn't expect the call. Now I'm in the hot seat!

More questions about the test. I have been reading through the ATP test book to refresh, just in case my phone rings. Are there any subjects safe to skip, or is any question fair game? Such as weight & balance computations, or questions that have an associated diagram to interpret?

Don't worry, eventually the hand shaking and silly assed grin will fade...what am I saying, no they don't. I got mine many years ago and as I sat there stunned, they called back to apologise...they'd made a mistake...(OK, how do I do self CPR again?).

"We meant to tell you that you will be in a class for the 400, not the Classic. You don't mind...do you??"

Welcome aboard!

Default Staying in the game is tough...

..and the tough survive

MM2, I have not seen anyone post anything about wt&bal. That does not mean some training demogod will not modify the test.

KyTbrd's summary has been spot on according to those who have taken the test recently. So use that as a baseline. Weather diagrams, TAFs/Metars should be known cold. Polar wx, jetstreams, visual illusions were mentioned. NAT procedures.

Amhess: Good luck. It is tough to keep on top of all of this after many months of waiting. Sure you will do well.

Faith and patience to the rest of us

The questions that I remember specifically out of the ATP book relate to the jet stream and visual illusions. Most of the other questions are found elsewhere.

Thanks, I kind of know what that is like. The last year has been crazy. I retired and was picked up immediately by a regional as there was not much other hiring going on. I just wanted to stay current. I then got hired by another 747 cargo operation so left the regional about two days after finishing IOE and a week before starting the 747 cargo job. My class was cancelled the Friday before training was to start and they have since furloughed about 85 pilots. So much for staying current. Its been about 8 months since I flown anything with more than three tires and thought I was going to have to call another regional and I doubt they would touch me after what I did unless they where desperate and I do think they are starting to feel the crunch a little. Don't anyone take that the wrong way. It was a great experience, the training was excellent, I met a lot of great people and got a small taste and appreciation for what that type of flying is all about. I received my package in the mail today with paperwork to fill out, drug test and return. The job description that was included for me to sign was for a ground instructor. There was no mention of that on the phone. I have to call on Monday and hopefully find out that was an accident. I'm very excited to be coming on board at Atlas. It was my number one choice and can't wait to be there.
