Again, I realize you were just seeking information based on your personal circumstances. But realize where you fit into the picture before you start throwing around claims of unprofessionalism.

1. Start of Process - Submit Application
2. 1 month after Application (1 week after 2 internal recs were submitted) - Received Phone Screening, Scheduled interview during call
3. 1 month after Phone Screen - Interview
4. 1 week after interview - Successful interview email
5. Waiting on training dates. 3ish month wait for training is what was said during the company presentation.
Obviously ymmv. I think the internals definitely made a difference and am very thankful for them.

Not to mention the 5 year timeline you proposed, in regards to a company that is almost unrecognizable from what it was just 12 months ago. Seems like the replies you’ve received were in response to a lack of professionalism on your part.

So for that, I apologize, that was not intended as a dig at Atlas guys. One of the things that interests me most about Atlas is the international flying they do. That interests probably more than the pay. I thought Atlas might be an option to bypassing having to go the regional route which what’s why I asked what my chances might be. I know 5 years is a ways away but I’m optimistic things will return to normal by then.

Your rotor time does not equate to flying a heavy jet into Hong Kong in the weather at night after an already long day. Do not think your current experience is above flying for a regional (farm league) for a period of time.
