I have a question. I don't know much about unions. As a new hire, if the union decides that a strike is necessary, are you protected? I wondered if you are on "probation" your first year and the mgmt can fire you for any reason.

Thanks for your time and answers.

Though I don't work for Atlas I've worked for two companies with union rep. from the Teamsters. To sum it up, the union has always been adamant that, "no one goes back to work, until everyone goes back to work!"

Hey guys new to the thread, sent my Resume and PAQ in a few days ago. I have 3 friends I know flying for the company that were forwarding my Resume as well to HR...I'm sure the "competitive hiring mins" are all over the place but anyone here a former Regional FO with a little over 2000 total, 1000 hours 121 and get a call?

Also anyone taken the Technical assessment recently able to give a more recent take on the questions?

Thanks!

According to the website he meets the minimums. Your asking a bunch of pilots who have nothing to do with the hiring process what you chances are? My answer, it doesn't matter what your chances are, if you want the job, do whatever it takes to get the job.

That being said, have your three buddies educate you on what exactly you are getting into...

Has anyone from the March 22-24 interview been offered a class date yet? I'm coming up on being due for recurrent pretty soon, and I would like to be able to save everyone involved time and money rather than sit through a class at my current company for a week only to turn around and leave.
