I had stopped dwelling on it and taken this forums advice to relax and be patient and only after I submitted to that frame of mind, I got the call, so like I said, invaluable advice 
I submitted in August, also stopped thinking about Atlas and was completley shocked when they called. They called around Sept 28ish, interview in October. I was told this was the last INTERVIEW class of 2012. Not sure what is on the horizon for training classes.

As far as interviews...yeah, HR told me that they don't plan to hold any more interviews for the rest of the year. Here's hoping for 2013.

DB mentioned that there were no other scheduled conferences for Atlas this year. Unless there is something at the beginning of next year, I imagine they more than likely be at the WIAI conference again.
It does seem that the face to face is valuable, which has been my experience everywhere I've worked. I'm hoping to work out a visit to the CP's office here in ANC.Good luck with the interview!

The deadhead situation is different for every base and even the lines within that base. Some bases deadhead very little. Some a lot. Some mostly on domestic airlines, some mostly on company, and some on foreign. For me, recently, it has been on our freighters.
And, yes, when it is full, it kind of sucks.

If you get in time the day before for dinner, the Thai place across from the Atlas building was pretty good IMO.
