forumname,

I can't argue with your assessment of Atlas as you're on the inside.

However, the fact that Atlas asks about specific experience on the PAQ means that some consideration is given to your background. They even have a list of types that you can check if you've flown the type.

I think it is a plus that they hire from all over the spectrum, but it seems to me that they may have a preference for certain experience.

I believe that my post also applies to many other airlines and not just Atlas.

Thanks for your input.
