You didn't mention that I paid for a hotel breakfast! That's got to be a huge disqualifier to, right??

 

Sadly, no. They make us do that out on line far too often...

 

I got called Tuesday the 12th and was offered to interview on a day of my choice. I interviewed 18th.

passing the test should get you an interview, so unless you said something you regret saying, I would email them in a few days and politely remind them of the call and hint around you want an interview. people slip through the cracks at Atlas, especially at this hiring rate.

 

True words. EVERYTHING has the potential fall into the Grand Canyon at Atlas. Good people, strained infrastructure. It has always been so.

The other side of the coin was the guy who got lost and was on the payroll for over a year without turning his first wheel on OE (under the old rules). He only got found because he put in a vacation bid.

 

No joke? How do I fall through that crack? I've been applying for better than 5 years.... I finally got through, but it took a long time.

 

Interviewed 1/18. Met some true professionals, what a breath of fresh air.

The board was very clear of growth plans for Atlas, and that they wanted to attract high quality people as they continue to explode in the growth of the company. Interview which was very laid back, so when called best advice, just be yourself. This is a company which from what I saw, put value on your time and experience. They want to attract new professional's and maintain the group they have.

From my friends and ex colleagues whom currently work here truly love the job and are very excited for the future. They need pilot's in order to sustain their growth plans while maintaining QOL for pilot's already flying the line. Management and the group are seem to be in tune with each other, in hopes that not only improves profitability and sustained growth for the company, but becomes an airline which pilot's want to hang their hat.

Good luck to everyone in this wave, and hope to see you in a class soon.

 

Completed the phone screen today, was told to expect more interviews late March or early April and that they would contact me once dates are finalized.

 

Right on! One team.....

 

When did you complete the online assessment and how did you do?

 

I heard a story of a classic guy who was sent home and was told he'd be called for a -400 class. This guy goes home and keeps his head down. Six months pass--checks clear every month. Chief pilot calls and says "Do you still work for us?" Guy goes, "Sure do. I was told you'd call."

Massive cracks at Atlas. But an interesting opportunity nonetheless.
