They do hire guys without recs (15% according to the last update from the union hiring guy), but having a rec doesn't guarantee you anything. I'm sure many of us have stories of quality guys we've recommended that weren't called, or got stuck somewhere in the process, with no explanation. My limited dealings with HR/interviewing are that they're a hot mess, but I think they mean well. Supposed to be a ton of interviewing this month, so maybe your number will come up.

hey folks....been a long time since I've posted on here...I was fortunate enough to have a friend at Atlas walk my stuff in yesterday.....those of you who took the assessment....how long did it take to get emailed to you after you submitted your resume and PAQ?
I am biting at the bit to get back into 121.....best of luck to all of you!
Sorry if I come off as bright eyed and bushy tailed but if you worked in the same flight department as I did for the last 4 years, you'd be ecstatic to be getting out too!

After talking to bunch of guys it's anywhere from 1 day to 1 month to get a call after taking the test. Probably 80% getting the call in less than a week and 50% getting it in less than two days. I took the test 41 hours after getting the email and 57 hours after that I got the call. I know one guy who waited a week to take the test and got the call a couple days later. Interview dates were picked over by then but he still got one. Don't wait to take the test. Study now.

Sigwx charts. Metar & TAF guide / true vs. magnetic / visibility in SM or meters / winds in MPS ... whatever. Know how to read a Jepp plate and plan a descent on an arrival. Read up a little on jetstreams because I think there were some Qs in there not in the ATP bank. NAT contingency procedures for emergency descent or deviating around weather. SLOP. One question had a Chinese RVSM distraction. Not sure if you need to know the ins and outs of that, just maybe the top and bottom in meters. It's 90% the same as it's been for the past year or two at least. It's about 50% ATP, 10% NAT, 20% weather, 10% FAR/AIM, and 10% off the wall. Somebody posted a list of about 30 bullet points several years ago. Just google this forum for "test" or "online test" or "written test".
