You are trying to apply sense to anything Atlas does. Just don’t.

Makes total sense as the app stack is high. Maybe try applying on the Atlas side for the 76 or 74 side of the house if the app site delineates the two entities. He has 76 time... You never make the shot you don’t take.

This... UPS and FedEx are still hiring and if you add a 747 Type to that resume you'll look like one of their hires. Atlas is trying to prevent itself from being in the situation that it was in pre-Covid19.

Just trying to figure out why I wouldn’t meet min quals?

I would definitely contact them to make sure that is not a mistake, since you do have the minimums, I would assume a mistake, the worst that can happen is for them to tell you, I am sorry we do not want you.

I’m gonna go with this one.
On previous attempts at other airlines I’d get a TBNT email send at like 0120am.
Thats not even send by a person, your email gets fed into the evil mainframe and it spits out a standard rejection.
Late last year the main reason was probably being under qualified.
A no is a no for whatever reason and it’s probably because every morning looks like this:

It is possible they are viewing you as overqualified (more like a “flight risk”). That is just a shot in the dark though. Also it is highly likely that the TBNT email you received was a standard template letter, so to speak.

Best of luck if you’re still interested in AAWH. Looking at your experience the pilot group would certainly be more than happy to have you.

All this talk about 'flight risk' is pure non-sense guys...we need to face facts.

I see guys with 121, types, and test pilot experience, flying B-2, F-35 etc etc getting hired at Atlas....and they will be so gone once hiring starts back up it won't even be funny.

The recruiters have been telling folks they don't expect you to even be there that long, hence the low training pay...you are basically paying for your own type rating..you do understand that, right?
