A good friend of mine was hired earlier this year with nothing but S-3, EA-6B, and EA-18G time. Now a 747-200 FO. Has made a few "carrier landings" in the Whale, but otherwise doing well and enjoying Atlas a lot.

The PAQ form has "YES/NO" type questions in regards to glass/FMS/heavy/crossings type stuff. And IIRC, there was a sub section on the flight time grid that asked for hour totals of some of the preferred, but NOT minimum requirements.

I wish I knew what the golden token was to get a phone call. I have been dying to work for this company and would love to be part of the Atlas team in any flying capacity. Military and meet all of the preferred requirements, two internal recs and haven't had a sniff yet. This is a true exercise of patience and hope for that matter. Any advice is welcomed from anybody who might know something I don't!

Thought that was odd, as I know there are many gues on this thread who have said the same thing. Good luck to all...

Yeah that is odd. I checked my letter last night, and it said they would place me in the hiering pool. Hopefully all the swimmers will be rescued soon.

Can someone please PM me a name to address my cover letter to, as well as an address & fax number to HR? I want to hit all the bases! Thanks!

Just submit the PAQ. It works.

I've been doing that for a while now without any luck. I'll keep at it, but I was just looking for any way to increase my odds. Even just a name at HR that I can use to make my submission email a little more personal would be great.

Fair enough, I just remember reading that they just want the PAQ and nothing else. Buddy of mine first submitted in October and interviewed in June, so it can take a while. Probably your best bet to stand out would be face time at a job fair, if you don't have an internal rec.
