Two of the greatest mysteries of modern times are,how where the Egyptian pyramids built and secondly how does Atlas HR choose their interviewees.
Good luck if you get an interview.

ATTENTION ATLAS APPLICANTS:
Latest rumor from the school house is that 50% of a recent new hire class got pink slipped when they failed their initial new hire check rides. While they were ultimately retrained and were passed, the failures like this remain on FAA records and could have a devastating effect on a pilot's chances of moving from Atlas to a "career airline"[/QUOTE]
This has me wondering if this isn't a preconceived "tactic" to insure these people have no option but to remain at Atlas. Pretty soon you'll need a DUI to get hired so no one else will take you.

This is the only place I've heard this rumor. I haven't heard about mass failures anywhere else. If it were true, I think we would have received an email from the Union regarding it.

2 friends at United with 2 DUIs each so no a DUI won't ensure life at atlas without parole unless they are very recent.

50% is an exaggeration. more like 25% of that specific class, 4 or 5 out of 24.

Thanks for the update. I thought it was a little high.
None-the-less, even though there is a valiant attempt to upgrade the training experience here at Atlas, the program is not as well oiled or successful as it is at most other major carriers. The risk/reward ratio is definitely not that favorable here.

I have been here 6 years, and would currently refuse to submit anyones resume, I think anything would be better than coming to this joke of an airline right now.I regret the 6 invested years and cannot wait until the day I get to slam the door on my way out.

Alfonso1 and Duesenflieger, yes, I too got the tbnt email a few weeks ago, and get to wait another year. No interview, no test, no phone call, nothing.
Know many people at Atlas who are all scratching their head. Competitive? 8000hr, 1000+ on the whale-400 doing acmi all over the world. Apparently it is now the computer who is deciding.
