Look at the guidelines for each interview. They will give you what you need to know. As I recall, the HR/Tech interview specified "Business Attire" - which includes coat and tie. Unless told otherwise, you can't go wrong with that. My Tech interviewer wore shirt and tie while the HR interviewers were more casual.

Not sure how "onboarding" can go South - unless you make it go that way. Yeah, it was a LOT of redundant and seemingly superfluous forms and submittals. But everyone, to a person, was awesome and bent over backwards to help.

 

I'd also like to know. What are the traps? How do people lose the job from here?

 

I'm going to call myself out on this nonsense, I read that post wrong, definitely not biz casual. Business attire aka. shirt and a tie as minimum.

 

Fail Training
Stealing/Theft
Lies
Just to name a few for starters

 

Sometimes, before even stepping on property due to poor communication with a company due in part to no fault of the NH..

 

Can be a simple as requiring 3 weeks from CJO to class date as specified in the interviews to only being offered classes 2 weeks to start.
I'm sure there are other ones..

 

Great info, thank you.

 

During your interview candidates are asked specifically for their date of availability, unless they respond “ASAP” they will not be offered classes in 2 weeks. The stated availability is most likely honored.

 

Well I have to respectfully disagree with you. On both the tech interview and in the HR interview I was asked the soonest I would be able to start. At which time I told them that out of respect for their loyalty, I would need to give my present employer at least three weeks notice for wich they seemed to have no problem.. From the time I recieved my offer to the time the class was to start was 16 days. I'm just stating exactly what happened. I would had even been fine if they were to push the start date out a couple months if needed. When I finally did get through to someone I was told that it was not easy to be reassigned another date. Finally, I was offered instead of the 767 which would had worked Ideal living in Ca, I was assigned a class for 737. Again, 16 days out. I had to decline. Pursued Atlas for years for the opportunity to get on so it was pretty disappointing to say the least. Especially after almost having all the CPat complete for the 76 and all my onboarding was done. Boiled down to just a breakdown in communications. I was even reading where several were deferring their dates out months. Noneless, staying optomistic for the next opportunity.

 

Not trying to bag on ya. But a 2 week notice isn’t sufficient enough of a notice?
