Got my water wings on and I'm jumping in! I got the "preferred hiring list" email this morning.

I submitted my first application over two years ago, with one or two resubmitals since then. Got the email for the online assessment in mid-October but couldn't take it until the first week of December because I was on the road. I heard nothing after that except crickets chirping until getting the phone screening a few weeks ago. I interviewed April 28th in ANC.

Now just waiting on a class date...

Congrats Kodiak! Spend some quality time with friends and family now while you can. The Atlas training cycle seems to really drag on when you pass the five week mark and the Crystal Palace is a long ways from ANC.

You are proof that persistence pays off.

Good thing there are a few Alaskans hanging out. We stay in the same complex.

Anyone know when the next round of interviews are? I took the test a couple weeks ago. Really excited about this opportunity!

Long time reader - first time post.

I wonder what some investors know to cause the stock to rise nearly 25% in about a week... crazy. The last earnings report did outperform expectations but mainly due to 5% increase on the charter side...at least that's how I understood it.

I wonder if there is some other deal yet to be announced that is driving all the hiring - over and above attrition. You guys heard anything on the line???... or just standard expansion and growth.

You hear all kinds of stuff. We're going to exercise more -8 options as Boeing gets more desperate to keep that line going. We're getting new 767 pax airplanes and the old ones will be converted to freighters. We're getting 757s. We're getting 777s for any number of carriers. Same with iPads, AQP, trip trades, and so on. Been hearing the same rumors for years. At some point, at least a few of them will come true.

Atlas is buying FedEx .... but don't tell anyone! *



There are always rumors, but nothing seems to have "legs" at this point. The first quarter results and a positive cargo sector forecast are likely all that is driving the stock.

But I'd love to be wrong

* not really true
