I can't imagine DOD contracts would even require US citizenship, there's plenty of "ISAFs" running around in Antonovs and Ilyushins in Afghanistan that are on DOD contracts.
Got to tour an IL-76 last year in Afghanistan, I'll tell you, those FSU Captains have it made. Nice ashtray next to the Captain's seat, he was eating lunch, in the back with the crew attending him. The navigator, the only one that spoke English was allowed to show me around, the crew had nice bathrobes hanging up, Cuban cigars and other assorteds. Not a bad gig.

Unless you do a visa run or pay for an investor visa etc it would be hard to just live there by choice. That is why I was surprised to hear some pilots live there. Sorry you misinterpreted that as having a narrow mind. (and sorry for not elaborating my initial query).
Over and out chief!

And before someone asks, it's been addressed in OTHER threads, MULTIPLE times. A foreign airline's "commuting contract" satisfies the requirement of living in the U.S.

Sorry to ask a question that has probably been answered already but this thread is over 500 pages...
Has/Will Atlas hired pilots without ATP's and any turbine PIC? I've got over 3000 hrs 121 SIC turboprop time..Would it be a waste of time to apply?

But, you'll never get the job if you don't apply, I'd say send them a resume/PAQ, and continue to update, attend job fairs Atlas will be at and continue to update your resume. Continued interest says a lot too.
Good luck!

To all of you out there looking in, keep at it. I'm sure I'll have gripes eventually, after all I am a professional pilot.
However, this is my 4th rodeo, as it were, and this place has it together.
