Just for seniority reference Cliff, you've been on line about two months? Is that right? Is this a similar line others in your class have gotten? Thanks in advance.

I have been sending resumes for the better part of a year, would love to get on with Atlas. I thought they were looking for long haul international experience, I have plenty of that in Gulfstreams and BBJ's. We used to operate a G-IV, G-V, and BBJ, 12hour endurance, mach .82 FL410 (BBJ) Higher, longer, and faster in the G-V. 6 type ratings and 6300 TT. Not a peep, but I keep trying! I am wondering if the recruiters are familiar with Gulfstreams and BBJ's since they are asking for glass, long haul, international. I wonder if they are thinking domestic 737 stuff, we flew 10+ hr legs in the BBJ, not your average 737.

To you guys getting the calls, congratulations and best of luck. All I can say is I am jealous! Atlas is where I want to hang my hat for the next 20 years. My boeing experience is 737 Captain, can only dream about sitting in the cockpit of a 747-2/4/8

Everyone's schedule is basically completely different. The only constant is everyone has the same number of days on and off. I have gotten my first choice for my schedules in Feb and Mar-I was quite surprised!
Bizjet experience: A guy in the class behind me was an all-Falcon guy. Initially, last year, they were mostly hiring the same type of pilots (heavy, long-haul/mil guys), as they were available. Now they are looking at a broad range of experience. I think they are looking at individual qualifications and how good of a "fit" they feel you would make, and not so much at rigid guidelines like heavy overseas experience.
