B737 program question
 

Hi there folks! I've heard that Atlas has been hiring into their 737 program people with no jet time and with ATP written completed.

I have ATP with CL-65 type 1900TT, with no hiccups during training or re-takes. My only failure is a CFI ride. My regional company is backed up for IOE, so I don't have turbine time just yet. However, I have applied to Atlas and received TBNT.

Is it worth re-applying at 500 turbine time?

Thanks!

Get at least 500 hours of Turbine time then you will be competitive for a wide body slot.

follow up timing
 

Do you guys know how long after receiving an email from the recruiter requesting to fill out a form with your total times and some other hours did you hear back? I'm very interested in the pathway program but I'm in a time crunch, I have a CJO with a Regional, and my ATP/CTP course is coming.

I received an email saying the following: ...."My name is XX and I'm on the Crew Talent Acquisition Team with Atlas Air. We have received your application for the Pathways to Success Program and are currently in the process of reviewing your qualifications. Would you please complete the attached Aeronautical Worksheet and email it back to me to complete our review process and determine the next steps?...."


Thank you guys

Nothing says you can't start ATP/CTP and then leave for Atlas if that's what you want to do.

I got the same email on June 7th. I replied to ask a question and I haven’t heard anything back yet.

Give it a week or so and perhaps try again. It’s a hit or miss hiring process at times and it seems many still get lost in the shuffle/churn.

Make noise. You won't look worse for expressing a desire to be here. If expressing a desire to be here costs you the job, what are you really losing anyway? Make enough noise for you not to worry anymore.

737 schedule
 

I would like to better understand the 737 schedule. I understand the pay is not as good as widebody flying but how is the QOL? I would like to talk to a current 737 pilot if you would send me a PM.

It’s been answered multiple times.

In regards to the 737 training, most of the comments I've seen here say it's a very challenging program compared to the rest of the fleet. What makes the 73 training more difficult than the others?
