I met with one of the FO pilots today, a very pragmatic pilot. She noted that there are RJ guys doing very well and that not having an across-the-pond experience would not exclude selection.

Common thing my group kept hearing was keep updating, keep getting pilot recs, and be brutally aware of the business model/schedules (Change is constant).

Good luck to all.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Saw the pilot questionnaire last week but didn't download. Went to fill out last night and site says applications closed until 23 March.

Submitted an app with Atlas a month ago as a retiring AF guy. I believe I have well above the mins at about 3200 hrs total in military jets & turbo props with several pond crossings. Haven't heard a word yet though.Their expansion plans sound impressive and I would love to hear from them.

Thank you GTI 8225 for flying my husband back from
His deployment today! Can't believe he got to fly on an Atlas plane before me!!!

OK, now that's funny, I don't care who you are. :D

Great! It'll be back up before my monthly submission of my resume/PAQ.

Anyone have any gouge on the preferential hiring pool? I interviewed on March 13 and got my pool notifcation yesterday. Have most recent interviewees been getting a class date pretty quickly, or should I expect a long wait? I did see one guy post on here who only spent 3 days in the pool, but I was wondering if that has been the norm lately. Is it worth calling Denise Borrelli and asking this question, or should I just wait and see?

I would wait a few weeks and then contact HR. Are you 767 current? That may give you part of your answer.

How can it be a heavy when you only have 2 motors?
