Atlas is exactly the kind of flying I would like to do!
Skids, when did you apply? When are you retiring, what's your background, etc (any internal recs?). I'm retiring in Aug and I'm wondering when/if the call/email might ever come. I'm also worried that I'm not quite what they're looking for (all those things they ask about on the PAQ). I'm a legacy C-130 guy, so: very little jet time or FMS time, just a few ocean crossings. I'm a T-1 IP now, so I'm getting a bit of jet/FMS, but it's still just a small part of my overall experience.
