Atlas Air Hiring
In the bid 2? months ago I was 150 #s from 747 capt. At 30 pilots retiring per year, I figured 5 more years to upgrade, maybe a bit less.
Now I'm 60 #s from upgrade. I was pretty surprised to find that I moved up 90 numbers in 2 months...what I thought would take 3 years...
10 more 747 capt bids out very soon is what we just heard...

Passed the written exam and don't have much else to add in regards to gouge. Its pretty accurate and the method that worked best for me was using my trusty old school Gleim ATP question book. For reference i used ACE The Tech Pilot Interview (Barstow) and JAA professional Pilot Studies (Croucher) for altimetry/aerodynamics, and internal docs at my company in regards to performance, NAT tracks, etc.
Thanks to everyone who posted useful info and keep up the good work!

Thank you! Yes, I have read I few posts and 1099 helped a lot, great post!!!. Got a high score on the online assessment in late June. No call yet.
But I am referring basically to a post from July:
"Phone interview tomorrow afternoon! 2 weeks after taking the test.
Can't do it now because ready to fly.
Wish me luck! "
I will read more posts. Hope they call for an interview in August. Will start sending emails as suggested as well. Thanks!!!

If you've lived abroad in the past 5 years (not including a mil deployment) can Atlas still hiring you? I know there is a law that says you can't carry US mail if you have, which precludes you from being hiring at FDX or UPS... does DHL Mail qualify under this rule?
