Some of them we should not.
Definitely not, like a hard NO.

 

I retract my previous statement. Thanks for the quick analytics breakdown.

 

I finished initial on the 73 at the end of February. Currently awaiting OE. It has been a cluster and I can say few 73 FOs have left over the past 2 months. That being said, I have a buddy at IAero with a R-ATP that received an interview. Maybe they are opening up to those guys? Also not sure what DHL is going to do with the previous IAero contract, maybe Atlas will grow the fleet.

 

Good point, never hire everyone for there is no outfit without questionable individuals. Cherry pick x 10.

Hopefully we continue to expand on the heavy $$$ makers. Doesn't make cents to stay with low profit margin contracts unless required/economy based.

 

I interviewed summer of 2023. Lots of PIC and heavyjet time. I am currently senior at a large successful US carrier. I flew ACMI years ago and loved it. I will say that my interview and contact with all of the people involved was great. Good people and professional. I did not get a job offer. I blame that on myself. My logs are 30 plus years old and pretty comical compared to the way younguns keep records today. Think copied pages from the little red book type of records. My thoughts on the post mortem of the interview is as follows and Im posting purely for the people that are trying to get hired now at Atlas.

Record keeping is important. Newer generation pilots keep things like electronic records. (plus)

I blew an answer that was totally obvious and my fault on the tech questions part with the retired Capt. (bad)

I was asked what my biggest concern was leaving my current job and I repeatedly said money. Honest but I dont know how that was received.

My takeaway is this. They really like regional pilots. Not a been there done that retread like me. Newer regional pilots are well trained and disciplined.

Also like mil heavy pilots. They know the job and the lifestyle.

Atlas seems from the experience that I had like they are trying to do the right thing. They were honest and straightforward with me during the whole process and I always felt welcomed and they were trying to get to know me and not just ticking the boxes on the interview question sheet. I have many past and current friends and coworkers at Atlas/Polar some very senior from my non-sked days who said the interviewers would think Im crazy to leave where I am to go to an ACMI carrier. Maybe that weighed on their decision as well. But all things being where they stand the decision was made for me and I had a great time talking and working with them.

So do it! Apply. Have fun and have even more fun if you get to the line.

 

just heard on the corporate briefing that Spirit and iAero folks were getting priority interviews.

 

Hello - first year is $97 an hour and yes you can live abroad now.

 

Thanks, and what is the monthly averages you fly??

 

64hrs is what you can plan on. We often credit more, but we often credit 64hrs as well.

 

"AnyTimeLogBooks" fixes that by transcribing your log books into a modern format. I have heard their name mentioned more than a few times. They are easy to find online.
