I would not have thought this needs to be said, but for all those called for an interview, PROFESSIONALISM COUNTS and a lack thereof will get you shown the door.

Some examples of interviewees last week...
Question, Why do you want to work for Atlas? Answer, "Dude, I really need this gig."
During the panel, two utterances of "s@$t" and one "ass".
Voted worst dressed, one individual in cargos and a Hawaiian shirt!

Atlas is a big boy airline and expects you to behave as such.

The good news is that hiring will be picking up even more, with a goal of getting to 2000 by end of 2016. That's 800 more than we have now, so with attrition, they're shooting for 1,000+ New hires! 767 classes will be increasing to 18 in December.

Good luck to all.

Good luck with that.

I interviewed last week in Miami on 10/8. Out of the about 30 interviewees there, everyone looked sharp and well-presented and mannered.

It was nice talking to everyone and learning about their backgrounds. It was mainly military and regional RJ guys from whom I spoke with.
Everyone was great and although I can't speak for inside the individual HR & Tech portion interviews, I find the post completely false.

I also found the HR staff and line pilots extremely friendly and welcoming. It was a pleasure to be invited to interview with Atlas and there are many qualified guys coming their way.

I'm sure someone will ask, so here it is:

4100 total, 0 TPIC, 0 internals. Regional FO. I was placed on the pref hiring list. Test offered in April, 85% in June, offered August interview but it was short notice so I accepted October instead.

Good luck everyone.

Glad to see all these regional guys with zero PIC getting the nod for the interview. Super happy my turbine PIC and 747 type rating and experience in ACMI mean absolutely nothing at all... Not bitter at all................

Not taking away from your point of being professional, but I talked about/up beer for a good part of the HR panel and was called a few days later. Just sayin.....

A little humility means a lot.

Baybum's list is just a list...OMG, it's a copied/pasted and just a list. Let it go already, PotatoChip.

Thanks for the list Baybum -- driving prospective pilots to greener pastures makes our case!!

Yes it does need to be said.

"Don't know if I can handle being gone 17 days but I'll give it a shot"

"Im not sure what a NAT track is"

"My ultimate goal is Fedex"

"My wife doesn't even know I'm here"

"I could use a break from flight attendants"


According to some very reliable sources these are actual quotes from interviews. People are dumb....really really dumb. If you don't get the gig you most likely stuck your foot in your mouth either because you didn't prepare or relaxed WAY to much. If you get invited that means they really want to hire you but you gave them a reason not to.
