A few years ago I jump seated from NRT-ORD and handed the crew some treats. The Captain (Captain Green...spell check) and crew were top-notch. However, I learned quickly that cooking skills were a must. The Captain welcomed me and asked his #1 to check my credentials and give me the safety briefing. He then turned and asked how I liked my burger (he was cooking for the crew). This crew was awesome, and it remains one of my favorite jumpseating flights.
I saw a lot of relaxed professionalism on this flight----folks making things happen. No tension. Great chaps....and I sense this is the magic . So, I am fully qualified to operate the oven/coffee pot on the aircraft. In addition, that grill in the MIA arena will be taken care of with love should I be brought to the school. Selfishly, I am a bit of a devil-----my diet plan includes feeding you more calories than I take in. I cook very well for others-----references available. :D Looking forward to making the cut-----and getting my new friends properly fed & hydrated. I'm here for you. |
Hello everyone. I'm a newbie on here and have been following the threads for a while now. I'm just curious, if someone was going to get a call after submission of the PAQ and resume, what is the average time frame to get that call? Atlas appears to be a great company and I am hoping to get a call. Thanks in advance.

Your response time will vary from a few days to around year with a majority being at least weeks or months away. The response to my many resumes was nearly nine months, so if you're sitting around the phone all day, unplug the charger and get mobile and get patient. Very patient. And read through this thread if you haven't already done so. You'd better be prepared to field the call on the first try and if you're away from your phone, leave a message that you are flying and will return the call asap. They seem to really like eager and enthusiastic applicants. EW If you guys are serious about Atlas, read this entire thread! 8 |
Thank you 8. Thats great info. Hopefully the phone will ring sooner than later. In the mean time, I will keep plugging away. Is Atlas still making prospects do the on line testing? I have heard that it was on its way out? any intel on that would be great. Thanks again!!
|
The latest calls for interviews seem to have gone to guys that have already taken the phone interview, and the on line technical test.
I don't know if a new round of calls have started yet...and what the latest gouge on that is, who knows? My guess however is that the process that they have established since we started this hiring cycle (in April or so of 2010) will largely remain the same...they seem to have had some good results in screening and selecting some great people. Good luck. |
Thank you Driver. I do appreciate the info.

just saw the -800 in VHHH as I was taxing out. Looked really good! Will the -400 be know as "the classic" at atlas since the 200s are parked? :D I've been updating for 2.5 years, still wold love to get a call for an interview/start the process.

Interview Essay Topics
Would all the people who have interviewed care to tell what their essay topic was. I understand it can be ANYTHING, and there is no way to really prepare for this, but I think it would be interesting to see some of the topics. Just a few of the topics Ive heard are: NOTAMs, PRM, ADS. Enquiring minds want to know.
|
Good point GV! That would be a good spot to think of. But first, I'm still waiting for this phone call. Have you heard anything?

Why you should never buy golf clubs in TPE Why the STN hotel was nicknamed "The Linda Lovelace" Does the hotel soap in DEL really prevent lice? Who got the lower forward hold, Ferrari or Lamborghini? Who got the aft? If you have to wear Gucci's on the -400, are Manolo Blaniks required for the -8? If K 12 is a mountain, what is K 11? And the bonus question...for ALL the marbles...Who is Cheung Lo Fat and what is his nickname? Just some levity folks... |
The EU has instituted a carbon trading system where airlines could trade their allotted foot print. Explain how this would or would not affect your behavior in the cockpit. Something along those lines.......

I haven't heard anything yet....But then again I didn't have my hopes too high that I would get a quick response based on what I've read as far as the timeline goes. I just submitted my info last week when the latest window opened. In the meantime I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row, so when the opportunity does present itself, I'll be ready. I'm still on active duty for another 5 months so I'm hoping to roll right into Atlas when I retire in January. "FINGERS & TOES CROSSED" |

(The mil guys had no idea what it was, so the moral of the story is to make a clear and logical argument and support it, regardless of the fact that you might be slingin' hooey. Fake it till you make it.) |

What are the operational and technical differences between Category II and III ILS approaches? Explain the difference between, lnav, vnav, and lpv approaches. OMG, nevermind....I thought you guys were asking. Now I realize those were essay topics. |
I am currently batting .1000 on guys getting a call from internal recs submitted and .900 on those guys getting a job offer. The key to this whole thing I think is getting someone to submit your app through our internal rec email. Find an Atlas pilot, buy the first round and your in.. Great place to work, and only getting better I think.
|
even if it was just an essay topic, it's still a good review for everyone, especially for those who haven't flown certain types of approached such as LPV.

Anyone know how much it will help to attend the job fair? I have an application submitted and an internal reccomendation so will the fair help? Money is tight so I want to ensure it will be beneficial.
Also rocky/any other Atlas pilot, beer is on me as well. As many as you want..... |
Excellent! More info to review and look at a little more and even more info to learn! Who doesn't love learn new stuff. I'll just keep the info flowing and keep the fingers crossed. Thanks for the subject ideas though. Keep me comin! But realistically, who even owns a Ferrari or a Lamborghini? I don't know of any pilots that do.
|
Puck, I'm considering the fair in Chicago too. Good question, thanks for bringing it to the list.

I figured as much. I suppose I have to work on my sarcasm! Ha!

"What is the most critical issue facing the airline industry today?" Half of us said fuel costs and half said pilot shortage...
I think it is really just a handwriting/spelling/grammar test to see if you will be able to fill out the aircraft logbook correctly and clearly. Accurate answers would be a minor bonus IMHO. You may want to practice writing out a page or two of anything to analyze your own handwriting. An upbeat spin on it wouldn't hurt, either. 8 |

Also, my interview group got the question "describe the relationship between LPV, LNAV/VNAV, and LNAV only approaches and their relationship to QNH, QNE, and QFE." |
Ok, just registered for job fair and booked my air fare. Anyone else going to job fair? I'm getting in friday afternoon and I'm up for getting some adult beverages....

I think he was referring to the cargo that is carried on the aircraft. I've heard Atlas moves anything and everything from Formula 1 cars to someones personal Lamborghini, and probably even a few cases of rubber dog $hit out of of Hong Kong.
Indeed! We routinely carry the classy autos as well as ammunition, race horses, sheep, goats, airbus flaps, asparagus, flowers and that rush order Samsung tablet you ordered. You'll be amazed at some of the stuff you see when you first start making your cargo deck inspections. |

The job fair is currently $99 to attend. The admission price includes all of the seminars and the job fair. The price will increase to $129 starting August 29th. I encourage all to book your ticket now at the lower price. Aero Crew Solutions offer a 100% refund if you are unable to attend. I am a pilot too and know that non-reving or jumpseating doesn't always work out right.
Atlas Air will be making a company presentation starting at noon. They will be allotted 45 minutes to speak and answer any questions you have about the company. There will be two HR representatives that will make recommendations to the HR Manager (DB) on who would be a good interview candidate. Remember that the attire for the job fair is business formal (suit and tie). The most important thing to have for the job fair is a great attitude. It makes all the difference with the recruiters. Do your homework on the company and come prepared. As of today we only have 26 people who are interested in talking to Atlas. The lines should not be too long. You will have 5 hours to talk to the recruiters. If anybody has any questions please PM. Good luck. Hotel Update The Sheraton has extending the cutoff date for booking a hotel room under the group rate. It has been extended until August 31st. You can book a room directly through our website. |
