Thanks?

I'm actually on the CRJ-700/900 (which does have slats), just never updated my profile. Not that the 700 is that different to fly from the 200. I came from an ATR before the CRJ and while different, with adequate training it was no problem. That is my primary concern, are people getting adequate training to succeed?




Thanks DC8DRIVER. I am definitely willing to put in the hard work. My regional is dying a slow death and I'd rather get out when it's by choice instead of by necessity. I am still actively looking.

Oh geez- give me a break. You have kids - and I mean kids joining the military flying some of the most advanced equip on the planet...

My new hire class had several turbo prop guys and gals.

It's very simple. You study, you work hard, fly the video game profile that Atlas will give you and pass the Checkride.

Everyone starts somewhere... Just because they hopped a step before Atlas- so be it.

Most of the rhetoric on the forum is from the same 10-15 guys that are pushing hard for a contract and attempting to scare people away from Atlas. We will get a contract eventually- the metrics of the industry will make it so...

Is it perfect no- do we need more money- of course... But I am convince, people will always complain no matter their salary, it's whom they are.

Coming from the guy who said, and I quote from the Kalitta thread:

How flexible is atlas about class dates IF I should be lucky to get the interview then lucky enough to get hired?
Is it a pool system where I can pass a class date and still be eligible to accept another? Or is HR of the "take it or leave it" attitude?
Atlas needs to staff 19 more airplanes. We were told in recurrent this week that they need to hire 450 just to keep 250. I'm sure they'll be fine with you treading water in the pool for 3 months. They run classes like every other week, just tell them your earliest start date and they'll probably already have something scheduled for you.

Feels fine, thanks. Employed, the checks don't bounce, and I do some challenging flying with some fine people on a great airplane.

How does it feel to spend all your free time belittling fellow pilots and staring up pointless controversies?

I'm one of the person in Southern pool, and Atlas just e-mailed me to get a interview with them in a few weeks. anyone know what the "abbreviated" interview would be?
does it include all the technical questions too? or just the HR portion?

thank you

I would guess the questioning would be something along the lines of:

"What is the soonest you can show up for ground school?"

Would any Atlas guys post their schedule for say, the last 3 or 4 months, along with seniority and seat?
