"ALOHA and Tanker I heard you guys had not received your letters yet after the interview. Did you get the call without receiving your letter."

As for me I never received a letter. Just the phone call. Though I know most of us were waiting "patiently" for the expected letter that's been mentioned here on the forums.

Does Atlas only hire military? That's the feeling I've been getting over the last couple years of applying. I've had a resume walked in a few times too.

Maybe that is the problem. If someone tries to walk in a resume to hand into HR, they will politely ask the candidate to go through the same process as everyone else.

Your question is a fair one though, as it seems that Atlas has been hiring a lot more military cargo pilots recently. These specific pilots are an easy fit because this is similar to the type of flying that they already do. Furthermore, Atlas does not have to worry about one of these pilots quitting because of the 17-day stretch of being gone as they should be used to far longer stints.

However, as it has been said on this forum before, Atlas hires pilots from many different backgrounds. I have a civilian only background as did the majority of my initial new-hire class and the new-hire classes around mine.

Have you gone to a job fair and spoken with HR face to face?

Good question. I've never had anything walked in, but 7k+, 2k+ TPIC, 2k+ ACMI Int'l in MD-11/B747-4 and no call since applying in Aug.

HR is baffling in the aviation industry now as compared to 2000.

My class (last year) and the ones after were around 50% military, even a bit less.

gannonr3, my current class is about 1/3 military, 1/4 ACMI heavy, and the balance regional and corporate.

Congrats to all those starting on the 18th! See ya around the Marriot campus.

Kevin stopped in and told our class just today there will be a -400 class every three weeks for the foreseeable future; hopefully more for the 767 as well.

Thanks for the replys. I only asked because the person walking in my resume has almost a 100 percent success rate walking in resumes of fellow military guys but not me.

Palmtree, it can take a while. A friend of mine at another ACMI began applying 1.5 years ago, just recently got the call.

Any indication as to what size the classes will be?
