There is no way HR can say if there is going to be a class in 3 months. They can speculate but it just isn't planned that far out. I know that they have made offers, then held them for miltary not at their DOS yet. At some point, you're going to have to make the big decision and may well end up unemployed for a short time. As we approach the holidays, the training schedule gets ruffed up as well.

If you're getting letters from current Atlas employees, it doesn't matter, the letters will remain in the system.

Default The Grill

Sorry guys, but I need to stray a little from the hiring stuff. I just showed up in Miami for PC and 747-8F Diff training and when I went to the grill it was covered and cold! Not a soul around and the crickets were chirping! What's up with that on a Friday night at the Atlas Marriott Campus???

PM me if you are here. I am here for 8 days.

Don't have to be more specific...at Atlas, 747 only means 744 or 748 nowadays!!

They both require tasseled loafers and a secret handshake...(on the 767 at Atlas, we are required one tasseled loafer only, since we are half the airplane that they are)...
