If the next two classes are 60-ish pilots each, maybe. Seriously, don't sweat it. 767 classes are running every three weeks. 747 took a break to catch up on OE, as that's the real bottleneck, but starts up again soon. Your numbers will come up soon enough, I think.

I wish I had that kind of insight, but I don't. I know from my interview group (of 12, how times have changed!) that we had a 747 driver who acted like they owed him the job; a military guy who didn't know beans about Atlas, but figured showing up was good enough; and an RJ guy who was kicking tires but not really into it. That said, we had two military guys who knew more about Atlas then than I do now; a 747 pilot who was confident but humble and was a great hire (and has now left Atlas for UPS), and plenty of RJ guys who wanted it bad and made it, myself included. And yet there were still some guys who seemed perfect but didn't get it.

All I can say is re-apply and see what happens.
