I just spoke to a new hire in class right now...he said that there will be no new classes until 1Q2011.

Atlas does not normally do new hire (or even recurrent) training in the 4th Quarter. Flight Ops management wants/needs all check airmen flying the line during the peak cargo season.

I'm sure we'll will resume new classes in January and (I'm guessing here) they'll start making phone calls/interviews in late December to fill the classes.

Good luck...I'll keep you guys posted if I hear anything more.
