Hi all, I have been very interested in joining Atlas and have been lurking in here for a while. I extremely appreciate all the info and contributions by long- and recent-timers alike. It has been very helpful, and has mostly made me more excited about the prospect of getting on.
I know of pilots going from B1900 straight into the 747, at Atlas even, and a good friend recently went from Twin Otter to 777 at Purple and is doing great. However, this is the first time I have seen this sort of thing regarding Atlas...
I have 7800+ hours, been with a foreign ACMI company (turboprop) for the last 10 years, but have previous 121 time from the early 2000s including DHC-8. Certainly no heavy international time. And, honestly, I have been out of the US system for a long time. Should I be concerned?
I have no desire for the legacies, as the schedules and commuting would not really work for me at all, and I am used to and prefer having chunks of work followed by chunks of time off. Kalitta is the only other company I am considering at the moment.
Thanks again for the thousands of contributions, which I have combed through most of over the last few months.

Corporate presentation, big group, cameras off, you can type questions at the end.
HR Interview with 1xHR, 1xPilot, maybe 1xUnion Rep. Know what ACMI is and don't lie about failures.
Tech Interview 1x Current or Retired Atlas Captain.
Then you will hear final results in 7 - 10 days... possibly shorter.
You will receive a packet of info for your tech interview along with a slide of topics and terms to discuss. You have enough time to study the info on the packet, so you should know every term. Very low threat Tech Interview. More a case of "do you care enough to have studied. Aviation Interviews . com is a good source for both HR and Tech panels, but be cautious. There are personal opinions and answers based upon prior employer ops specs. Bottom line, review the questions and find the answers in the FAR /AIM, FAA AC's, and weather.gov publications.
HR: Captain shows up drunk, what do you do? (great time to incorporate company values), What is ACMI, why Atlas, what did you do to prepare for the interview, what if delta calls you, who else have you applied for, you are the FO and Pilot Flying durring an emergency...who flies and who does the checklist... would you be offended if the captain takes the controls.
Tech panel: Brief description of current aircraft system. Define SLOP, CRM, TEM. Discussion about route packet, study every bit of ink. My questions pertained to Turbulence ( don't forget about jetstream core and cold side), altitude on a DP, brief an ILS ( don't forget about expected taxi plan), Copilot calls go around while you are min fuel (not emergency fuel) 500 agl and vmc on short final, what do you do.

Hi
I have received an email from Atlas today that I've been offered a CJO, but in the email, they've given me the B747 class date.
747 was the fourth preference for me and I told them in my interview...Do you think I can contact them to change the type or what should I do?As I'd prefer to go for 777 or 737...
any advice/help in that matter ?

All they can do is say no. It is only a 2 year seat lock. That time will go by quick.
