Some examples of interviewees last week...
Question, Why do you want to work for Atlas? Answer, "Dude, I really need this gig."
During the panel, two utterances of "s@$t" and one "ass".
Voted worst dressed, one individual in cargos and a Hawaiian shirt!
Atlas is a big boy airline and expects you to behave as such.
The good news is that hiring will be picking up even more, with a goal of getting to 2000 by end of 2016. That's 800 more than we have now, so with attrition, they're shooting for 1,000+ New hires! 767 classes will be increasing to 18 in December.
Good luck to all.
I interviewed last week in Miami on 10/8. Out of the about 30 interviewees there, everyone looked sharp and well-presented and mannered.
It was nice talking to everyone and learning about their backgrounds. It was mainly military and regional RJ guys from whom I spoke with.
Everyone was great and although I can't speak for inside the individual HR & Tech portion interviews, I find the post completely false.
I also found the HR staff and line pilots extremely friendly and welcoming. It was a pleasure to be invited to interview with Atlas and there are many qualified guys coming their way.
I'm sure someone will ask, so here it is:
4100 total, 0 TPIC, 0 internals. Regional FO. I was placed on the pref hiring list. Test offered in April, 85% in June, offered August interview but it was short notice so I accepted October instead.
Good luck everyone.
