At the moment yes but I have heard rumors before of us using the 767 to get into South America. I would count on MIA staying 747, small and Senior.

It seems I would have to commute from FL for some time at first...
Yes, this is correct. The company buys everyone a ticket from their home to their base and back at the start and end of the trips. They also put you up in the hotels so you don't have to stay in a crashpad. The downside is that the value of the tickets and hotel is considered imputed income and you will be taxed on it. It is completely hit or miss whether or not you get taxed, but when you do it is a hit to your take home pay since you are being taxed on income that you aren't seeing. You do not have to take the company ticket and are free to jumpseat. However, since we have no commuter clause that is not recommended. If you're based in ANC, you can usually hop on a company plane to CVG or ORD for instance and then have the company buy you a ticket home from there at the end of your pattern. That would save you a little on the taxes.

Second time I've gotten a written test from them in as many years... second time passed it with about a 90% score, and anticipating crickets again.

From an article in the Loadstar:

>Atlas Air’s cash reserves, which last year were $440m, were down to what one analyst described to The Loadstar as a “staggeringly low” $117.7m – “a huge issue”, he said. According to the 10Q form $78m of that cash is customer maintenance reserves, which generally must be returned to the customer upon applicable maintenance events.

>Atlas said it had paid $26.2m in expenses, for “accelerated compensation” awards for senior management, of which some $14m was in cash – much of which went to Mr Flynn.

>Executives also received a pay-out following Atlas’s acquisition of Southern Air, although the company has not announced the amount paid.

>Mr Flynn added that the company didn’t feel it needed as much cash as it had held in the past.

>While heavy maintenance is expected to be down in the fourth quarter, one analyst told The Loadstar: “I think we could see a tidal wave of maintenance expense in 2017. I don’t believe they can grow the fleet materially like they have and keep maintenance expense steady as well.”

Are your spidey senses tingling yet?

When did you submit your app and when did you get notification of the exam?

You should consider the incompetence you were shown in keeping their potential pilot candidates organized throughout the hiring process your gift.

This disorganization is just the tip of the iceberg in how badly Atlas is managed. I would not be surprised if the company is gone within five years. Even the recent Kalitta pilots hired at Atlas are all regretting their decision to come here.

You do know the regionals are hiring, right?
