Hi I applied in OCT 2021 is there anything else I need to do. My friend forwarded my resume and also a recommendation to the CP but still haven’t heard anything. Just wondering if I can do anything else except updating resume. Thanks

HPIC

Tell your friend to submit a recommendation again. It doesn’t go to the CP, it goes to HR via a specific email address. An MOU signed in October states that any crewmember recommendation will receive at least a phone screen from HR. You should at least get that.

I’ve heard it’s taking around two months from getting an internal recommendation to a phone screening. Is that still about right or has anyone who’s been through recently able to share if the process is running slower/faster than that at the moment? Cheers

Seems to be a coin toss. A guy I rec'd a while ago got the phone screen email the same day I submitted. Some still haven't heard a thing months later.

When I got hired earlier this year, I went from rec to CJO in about 2 weeks.

Wow, you went through fast! Seems I've missed the same day phone call but hopefully I don't end up in the months later column... Your recommendation must have had some sway!!

That's odd, I thought there was a mess exodus of pilots to other carriers and Atlas was looking to fill seats?

We lost about 90 pilots more than we hired in 2021. Classes aren’t full. The last 747 and 767 classes had 7 and 3 respectively.

Hello HPIC

I got an email yesterday from recruiting to schedule a day 1 company presentation and the a day 2 for tech panel and hr panel intv via virtual.
Any insight in regarding the tech panel
intv and hr intv .
thanks

The presentation has good information and answers a lot of questions. For the Technical, study/be familiar with everything on the study guide. You will also receive a flight plan a few days prior. Be able to answer questions on the weather and all procedures listed on the charts. HR panel is low threat.

HPIC

Congratulations! They want to hire you..don’t give them a reason not to.

I can’t really help much with the tech panel as it’s been many years and interview process changes since I went through it. The most recent pilot I know personally that went through it was about 2 years ago. At that point, it was reading a Jepp chart and briefing an approach, disseminating weather(metar/TAF/some basic charts such as significant weather charts), and a little basic info about the aircraft he was flying(not a type Atlas operates). They also talked for a few minutes about his career progression to this point.

Others should have more up to date info such as what NewType posted.

Good luck!

Edit to add: Since it’s virtual, test your computer/camera/microphone all before to make sure they work properly with the program being used. I assume it’s Zoom but that’s just a guess. Find a quiet, distraction free location and pay attention to what’s behind you that will be in camera view.
