If you have 1000 hours of PIC and a Boeing Type you're very competitive at both of those places. I had an hours long conversation with the former head of pilot recruitment at FedEx. I know these things to be true.

So if you don't have your 1000 hours PIC or your college degree... Get them. Network with guys you fly with. Don't be an ********* to everyone you meet. Try to get into the training department. Go to a job fair. Do these things and you'll get a call if you want one. The only guys that I think are completely unhireable at Atlas are the guys who can't upgrade and the worst *********s at the company who are known by everyone. From my experience there that's probably 5% of the pilots.
Thanks for encouragement, dad.
