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.

Gentlemen,
First off, I want to thank all of you for posting on this forum. It is a great insight and valuable tool for us bottom feeders coming out of the military haha. 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.

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.

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

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

I put Atlas down as my first choice, but did not see where I was able to select the date. I've been informed that Atlas will be there all week, so I guess I'll just have to wait until next week to see what date/time my fast pass is for. Good luck to all!

I believe the answer is No, because of existing laws governing airlines merging or buying another airline.
