They don't expect to have to teach you how to fly the airplane. They do plan to teach you which buttons to push and when to push them.

Maybe if the Asiana crew had better "hand" skills... well you get the idea. Being a classic driver I am going to chime in...nothing ****es me off more than to see pilots... CAs and FOs who turn the AP on as soon as the flaps are retracted and turn it off nearly in the flare..... these guys invariably have NO skill left and make the crappiest landings. I value ALL these attributes.. flying skills AND the ability to run/manage the FMS/CDU etc....

FWIW...when we have hired in the past... or transitioned qualified FEs to the right seat K4 still requires a basic sim eval flown with no AP, no FD raw data holding and basic flying skills and an ILS to near mins.... if you can't do that... please move on.

I'm out on mil but I just checked the bid packages to see what i can expect when I go back. What happened to the 767 flying? JFK has 3 lines and all r2 in Cvg and cvg seems to have lost a bunch of the DHL lines I used to fly with a ton of r2 also. Do we just have r2 people sitting everywhere now?

Nothing scares me more than seeing my f/o hand flying the airplane, having a 8000' alt clearance and through 7000' not making any adjustment. Then at 7800' bringing the power back and pushing forward to maintain 8000'. I'm not saying that they shouldn't hand fly, i'm saying there is a time and a place for everything. After take off and you get get caution msg. I don't think its the right time to be hand flying. Conversely, there is a time to disconnect everything, get rid of the FD and fly the airplane.

Pretty much. Ultimate company flexibility........ CBA only requires the comp to publish 90% of system wide flying....

Has Atlas been hiring anyone without prior 121 or military experience?

Greetings All - we should not be getting angry at each other for asking questions or making comments or contributions to this thread. No one comes into this world or this profession knowing everything and no one leaves knowing everything. Atlas is an aviation enterprise like all others operating for the sole purpose of delivering profitability and value to its shareholders and stakeholders. Atlas is not in the business of making careers for pilots...that's our responsibility so keep that in mind.

Above all, life is an individual choice and our career and life aspirations are all different...and that's ok! Lets continue supporting each other and advocating for our collective good...
