Would Atlas hire someone intrigued by ACMI but without jet or international time?
Yes...the mins include 500 TURBINE TOTAL...no jet, no PIC required.
Heard of a relatively new hire with class dates at AA, UAL and DAL...trying to decide. That is one of the reason that the pilot shortage is worse than it appears. Guys talk about how many apps at various places...they are all the same pilots. When the guy above choices, lets say, DAL, then he will call UAL and AA and be a no show for both. A guy getting hired at a career-type job, may take 10 or more resumes out of the system.
Atlas has a number of guys getting recalled, or eligible for recall at AA and UAL. They also have guys in various pools, and pilots applying elsewhere. Atlas lowered their mins recently...the 3rd time in the last 4 years.
