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.
Indeed, but Southwest ALSO have a multitude of aircraft types to check off, including the space shuttle. Also, the Atlas PAQ form ALSO has helo types. Now there's a reason they are on there, but those types of aircraft are slightly contrary to their type of flying.

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