I was looking all over this page: Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings , and didn't click the little Atlas icon to go to the Atlas specific page.
Anyway,
Thanks!

I would agree with the no cover letter. I cant think of one point during the whole process that anyone would actually read it. If you follow all of HR's instructions exactly through the whole process never is there a time where you would send one.

In the past, I think Atlas has hired people without jet time. I know that right now they are high on that, but do you think conditions might start to change in which a turboprop (only) driver with international experience might be considered? Of course, when the window opens, I'm sending the stuff in anyway.... 
Thanks
Thanks

We talked about this a couple of pages back.
I was hired Oct 2011 with zero jet time. All domestic turboprop. It can and does happen.
Read through the entire thread and follow the process. If they feel you are the right fit you will get hired.

I have an off the subject question for you 744 drivers. I was following a fly corsair 74 to the runway yesterday in Montreal, and every time he made a turn, the nose wheel skidded, smoked, and left thick black marks on the pavement. The first time I thought he was going off into the grass. The nose wheel looked to be close to full right, but they kept going essentially straight. Eventually it grabbed and they made the turn. The same thing happened on the remaining turns to the runway. The pavement was dry, and the taxi speed seemed normal to us, but maybe it was too fast? Is this something that a 74 does, or was this poor piloting?

Carrying too much speed into the turn will do that. There's a lot of mass in this thing that needs to change directions.
