I'm hoping with all the hiring going on it will drop to 3000 if it hasn't already.
Thanks for the info.
Should I wait to get 500 turbine before applying or apply anyway and mention I'm current 121 and that turbine time is building fairly quickly?

What are likely bases for new-hires for the 767 and 747?

Hmm...8200hrs, 8 type ratings, international experience. Is that why I can't get a call? I'm tired of the sandbox and just want to fly for Atlas.[/QUOTE]

Stay in the game. I'm coming from your same situation and I am in class at the end of Nov!

CVG for the 76 and ANC for the 74.

3000 to 4000 is competitive, they like to hire pilots in this range because they are a little more humble and not so set in their ways. For all you high time guys interviewing - be humble and don't act like you know it all already.

I'm at about 2300 TT, without multiplier, all military, nearly all multi. I'm moving back up to Anchorage before long and I've heard good things about Atlas - but it seems i'm pretty far below their competitive mins.

Does Atlas allow a multiplier?

Ladies and gentlemen, it's important to realize that there is little in the way of a standardized plan being used by Human Resources in this process. Unfortunately, as silly as that sounds it bears the ring of truth. Trying to find the one "straight as an arrow" route to a job here is a fruitless endeavor. Here's my advice: If you want to work here , then by all means apply!! (and it is a hoot for those who don't need a "set in concrete schedule" and want to have some serious adventures out in the world!!) The worst that that the mystery people back in the HR section of New York can say is 'no'. Go ahead and put your info in the queue. Hope to see you out on the road soon!

I don't think they allow a multiplier but I would apply anyway. There is a lot of movement right now.

On the application they sent me to fill out it said "convert military to civilian time using a factor of 1.2"

If thats what your looking for its at least going to put more drops in your bucket.

There is no such thing as "positive space" at Atlas. Atlas buys it's crew members a confirmed revenue seat. "Positive space" is a term used at airlines that have training travel in their CBA and it is a non-revenue ticket.

Oh common you knew what he meant. It's a confirmed seat. No need to get technical. Same thing man.

Oh, come on......(there, fixed it for you).

I'm not getting technical but positive space and a confirmed ticket are two totally different things. You say positive space around here and they have no idea what you are talking about.

Besides, I wouldn't take advice from someone who doesn't know the difference between "common" and "come on".
