Where are you based? I almost NEVER deadhead and I have only been with the company for a year. If I do have a DH on my schedule, it almost always turns into an operating flight. I am based in HSV and rarely DH.

Scheduling ebbs and flows. In any case they own me for 17 days, and what they do with me is their business. This mindset keeps me sane.

HR called a month ago and told me to return the call. Since then, I have called back daily and left a message once a week without reaching them. Should I give up this strategy, and hope they call me on the next go-around, or keep going?

I am about half way through my journey through this thread (although I occasionally jump ahead to the end). Atlas seems like a very cool job. I sent in my resume/PAQ about a month ago, and updated it last week. How soon can I expect a call, if I'm going to get one? I'm a former military guy, currently a regional FO, with about 3700 total time, 1400 PIC (all military). I've seen it posted on here that guys get hired with less time than me, but also a whole lot more. Realistically, what are my chances?

A lot of us are waiting for the call to make it past the HR Gatekeepers. From everything I have seen, patience seems to be the trait we will need to endure to make it to class.
This thread is a required reading. A lot of investment material in here. As a few have said, when the call comes, the information contained herein will help you make it through the process----study material, interview material,etc. Also, lots of good investment updates regularly on the Atlas website. Don't forget that.
Good luck...a lot of us have been trying to help where we can----even potential FnGs wannabees.

I'm new to this forum, although I've been reading it for a while. I sent my resume/PAQ on Aug 15, got the call for the phone interview Oct 2, took the online test this morning and got a call this afternoon. I interview on Oct 18. Hope to meet some of you there!

Most of the studying I did was the gouge posted in another forum at Atlas Air Interview Help - Page 3 - PPRuNe Forums
I also used the book Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot as a reference. I did have one internal rec. All my time is military 5000+ TT
