I can’t say what hiring managers may or may not look for, but meeting the RATP mins with the Hornet background should be competitive. I think your time in a fighter with carrier qualifications would certainly out rank my several thousand King Air hours and Atlas was willing to take a chance with me.

Certainly do not intend to sharp shoot you, Dera, but someone that has a successful NaTOPS background shouldn’t have much of an issue wrapping their head around regulatory issues. I have trained many former pointy-nose drivers at my previous employer and book work has never been the issue.

I don’t think it was an invalid statement. He stated that if it’s his first 121 training that Atlas training might be tough. The Atlas training program when first designed was built for guys with extensive heavy international time. That has changed over the years to accommodate lesser relevant experience levels but it’s still nowhere near where it should be. I’ve been through Atlas training(2 initials and many recurrent events) and training at a Legacy carrier. The Legacy training is FAR better and would be much easier for somebody starting their first 121 experience.

There was a reduction in 76 classes and upgrades to clear the Sim backlog. Those 5 I mentioned are the ones on the June Seniority List. There could have been more hired who have since resigned, I just didn't think to compare six seniority lists while drinking my coffee this morning.
