That tracks with info I heard from a different management type a couple months ago regarding the aggressive growth plans for the 767 fleet here.
For those looking to get on with Atlas, the management type (who is involved with hiring) said the next big batch of interviews will be in late March. Atlas will also be attending WIA earlier in March. Still no insight into the hiring process, other than HR seems to be adjusting their "pre-screening" process such that the hiring rate for face to face interviewees will be high (something around 80% of interviewees were offered employment in the January interviews). Based on the conversation last night, getting face time with Atlas hiring reps at job fairs like WIA is one of the best things you can do to increase your chances of getting called for a face to face interview in Miami/Purchase.
Hope this helps any new guys/prospective new guys.
FIFTY 767's!?! And just long was the stick that carrot was tied to? Where the hell would they even deploy that many 767's?
Interesting that mere days after management says they intend to pursue an amalgamated contract, this would be put out there. Sounds more like pay no attention to where the contract is headed, we're going to get gobs of jets, WE PROMISE!
