Rough crowd, sorry for wasting space. However, this information has everything to do with hiring, if not at Atlas, with our competitors.

If you are not interested in the business-side of how Atlas makes money then just skip reading the article. I did not force you to read it and I did not take money out of your paycheck to post it. There are others on this forum that see the bigger business picture and care about more than just flying their shiny jet. You may think that lift and thrust make an airplane fly, but you would be wrong. It is money, everytime. I sure hope Atlas continues to make the profits they have been in this challenging business environment so we can keep the flying jobs we have. |

Skip the article if it's boring. But keeping tabs on the industry is a great idea. This thread has a tendency to become an echo chamber, so a dose of realism now and then is good for us as well. Lots of us have come from other airlines that thought they were the greatest thing since sliced bread, and they were - for a while. The problem: how long is a while? |
We got some new guys, who know it all.

We talked a bunch about the business side of Atlas in my interview. Most of it was brought up myself. They spoke about the futures of both CMI/ACMI and what Atlas was doing to diversify. They also spoke about the lucrative passenger charter business. Types and length of contracts and longtime Atlas partnerships. I think the business side of Atlas was a very important thing to know for the interview. Why Atlas is their favorite question.

I totally agree with what chip1 said, that it reflects my interview as well. Saying, "I wanna' fly a whale" probably won't sound quite as impressive as if you can act like you've done some homework on the company and show that you understand what Atlas is really all about, and what they are doing to secure their place in the market for the long haul.
Listen to what captainv says, we all go to a big airline hoping that if things work out, we'll retire there. It doesn't always happen, and understanding the markets will help immeasurably in planning for your long haul. |

Not only ensuring that you're a good fit for Atlas, but that Atlas will be a good fit FOR YOU. Example; Taking a risk and getting a passenger config 747/spooling up an FA training program to secure the SONAIR contract. And in the process, carry people. That after a year allowed allowed them to not only fly cargo for the DOD, but now troops as well. With MORE passenger configured 747's. Brilliant!!!!!! Boom, see how easy that was? |
