I was finally picked up after 4 years of applying. 4 types, one which is a 747-400. 7.5k TT 6.0k multi/turbine. Lots getting hired with less and I honestly think its the internal rec thatll get you expedited through the process. It seems Atlas still puts weight on it as a decent reference. Im thrilled to bits.

I must have read every page of this thread and PPRs tech pages countless times. I applied a few months ago and as per the recommendation from the Atlas page, updated my PAQ and resume a few weeks ago. Any indications on recent time lines from submission to email? I have any excellent job at the moment instructing and flying ISR in the desert, but it's just a job and not a career. Apparently it feels like the only way in at the moment is a face to face, as mentioned above. True or not? I was an Army DHC-7 IP/MTP, 7000 TT, ATP etc etc. What are my chances of even catching an eye and getting the email? Again, thanks for the insight gents and I will keep reading and flying my circles until the call.
You're very competitive. The only thing I can see going against you would be atlas being worries about you bailing to a major which is a BS excuse not to call you. Try a job fair, it seems to be effective here.

Atlas was listed under their fast pass list of airlines. If you bought a single day ticket, you get awarded top two of your airline selections for that day, first come first serve. The cutoff to submit those was on jan 29th. This will be my first time at WIA, so have no idea if an actual fast pass is needed to talk to them. I would imagine anyone can walk up to their table.

Congrats and welcome aboard. 4 years, wow...that's perseverance.

You'll need to study your a$$ off for the type. Life gets much better on the line.

Decent reference being somebody in management or HR. I know somebody that has military and 121 time, multiple pilot internal recs, and never heard anything. While many with no internals, the same or less experience, but with a face to face with a low/mid level HR rep at a job fair get the call.

Point being, if you're really interested in Atlas try to get yourself to a job fair.
