Congratulations on the interview and I wish you the best of luck. Don't be nervous. l'll get into that in a second. There is a wealth of information here on APC and all of your questions have been answered. You are entering a totally new environmentand ut behooves you to spend time deeply researching your new career.. I BEG you, spend a few hours before now and accepting an offer reading some of the other threads on the first two pages of the Atlas chapter on APC. Start with the shorter threads. On the Atlas Hiring thread, go back to October 2021 and work forward. Skip the nonsense and Noise, but there is a lot of great info there.
FLEET: 737 is all domestic, lots of legs, great way to learn boeing jets. 767 Mostly domestic, some international of you want, lots of legs and a great way to learn big Boeing jets. These two will also have shorter 2 or 3 trips broken up through the month vice a single 17 day block. 777 and 747, long 17 day schedules, fight for landings and get one or maybe two landings per month, a few domestic legs but plan on nearly all international ops.
767 is the best fleet in the company, and if you live CVG, The IE, or PDX you can be home A LOT.
BIDDING: ALL pilots bid, but yes, seniority in your base rules and a junior pilot may get their last choice. If you are pilot 100 of 100, bid 100 lines and you may wind up with your 3rd, 47th, or 98th choice.
The INTERVIEW
You will be sent a One page sheet of items to study, and then you will be sent a briefing packet with jep plates, notams, weather, and charts.
[size=16px]You have enough time to study the info on the packet. Very low threat Tech Interview. More a case of "do you care enough to have studied." [/size]
AviationInterviews.com[size=16px] is a good source for both HR and Tech panels, but be cautious. There are personal opinions and answers based upon prior employer ops specs. Bottom line, review the questions and find the answers in the FAR /AIM, FAA AC's, and weather.gov publications.[/size]
[size=16px]HR: Captain shows up drunk, what do you do? (great time to incorporate company values), What is ACMI, why Atlas, what did you do to prepare for the interview, what if delta calls you, who else have you applied for, you are the FO and Pilot Flying durring an emergency...who flies and who does the checklist... would you be offended if the captain takes the controls.[/size]
[size=16px]Tech panel: Brief description of current aircraft system. Define SLOP, CRM, TEM. Discussion about route packet, study every bit of ink. My questions pertained to Turbulence ( don't forget about jetstream core and cold side), altitude on a DP, brief an ILS ( don't forget about expected taxi plan), Copilot calls go around while you are min fuel (not emergency fuel) 500 agl and vmc on short final, what do you do.[/size]
[size=16px]Good luck. Holler if you have any questuoquestions.[/size]
