Now, back to the reason why this Thread is even here, Atlas Hiring (not that the previous info isn't juicy). Every time I pull up this Thread (which is usu. every day) I get more and more discouraged about ever getting the opportunity to interview and have my chance to become part of the great Atlas family. What I'm sensing from this Thread more and more every day is that Atlas has now presumably resorted to looking at only candidates with a military background or candidates already with -76 or heavy time, as opposed to qualified regional piolts for example. Reading posts going back more than a few months about who was called for interviews and who got hired, just about every one fit into the first two categories mentioned above. Even with the slowdown in hiring, it was only -76 guys and military guys who got the call and class dates for Feb. It seems to be looking more and more bleak at Atlas for qualified Regional guys like myself to even get a nibble, especially with the possibility of the NAA/World guys flooding the market.

I'm a 13yr Regional CA with over 10k Tot time and over 7000 TPIC, whose resume has been in for 8 mths now, and a face to face w/DB at an Atlas job fair. I want this JOB! I haven't put resumes out to any other airline other than Atlas b/c if I'm lucky enough to get an interview I want to be able to tell Atlas that You are the one, no other. So, please somebody tell me that I'm dead wrong with this mode of thinking and current discouragement before I, God forbid, put a resume in at some lessor airline.
