I did fail a checkride in 2012. Does this mean, I applied. So, does this mean I will not get sent tge online technical test?? Should I forget about Atlas?

No way doesn't mean that at all. I know plenty of people hired with failed type rides at regionals.

My bad, I thought the vacancy award said they were awarded in January or February.

Interviews to Class Dates

Gentlemen!

A very important question:

Successful interviews can expect to be offered a class how long after the interview date? What is the time from interview to indoc, or at least, what is the ballpark if unknown specifics?

Thank you all a ton for sharing the information here, need to know.

No communication yet on class dates for many of us. A few made it to class already. Hopefully calls will go out soon for the next classes in April.

Good luck to my fellow Poolies!

There were also none awarded in December and today's vacancy award makes a minimum of six months with no upgrades awarded!

Not sure what you guys are looking at but the Atlas 2016-01 base bid awards published January 15th show 23 captain upgrade awards in the 747. There were 13 in the February 8 class and 10 for the March 10 class.

There were also 7 captain upgrades awarded in the 2015-12 base award.
