Atlas interviews are currently conducted by management and HR without the help of pilots. Retribution for picketing and WAI attendance. If you don't meet the bean counters criteria it's doesn't matter how many hours you have. Atlas isn't currently operating in reality. Major airlines are currently raiding Atlas and folks are happy to work less for more $ under a better contract.

I'm sure you're more than qualified for life here at Atlas but they are hiring like it's still pre 2012 when no one else was hiring. They haven't caught on to the fact there are better options on the table. Yesterday's Amazon aircraft advertising at SeaFair acknowledged they'll need 4-500 pilots to staff the 20 767 Amazon planes. Those planes are all supposed to be online by the end of 2018. FDX Delta and United are hiring that much and more in ONE calendar year. UPS is hiring as well but not to those levels. They're all pulling from the same pool of dwindling pilots which Atlas needs. In this current environment folks are even able to transfer between major airlines more than ever before: SWA to FDX, Delta to FDX , AA to DAL, etc. Our training classes have numerous no-shows as folks get hired to other airlines. Recently a 747 class was delayed. Which is interesting since I know 12 folks who have recently left to other carriers. Our IOEs are taking up to 3 months to complete after Miami. During that time folks have moved on to other airlines after being frustrated with not being able to complete IOE. Atlas will only be able to compete if they get a new contract that's very very close to other airlines. But the longer it takes the more likely the other carriers will have a new contract which will only put Atlas further behind. Altas is currently a great transient resume bullet. I wish you well and hope it works out. Good luck.
