JMHO.

"Back in the day", and way before this hiring spree at 5Y, there were pilots hired that hadn't flown in a long time. But granted, many of them were military, retired, and rode out the last years of their mil careers at non flying/staff jobs. But we're in a different era now, and they have THOUSANDS of resumes to choose from.
And keep in mind, there's PLENTY of them with 121/ACMI/Boeing/heavy experience that are current. But keep applying, ya never know.

I did the PAQ last month, but I don't remember seeing it this time, as it definetly WAS in the past. I probably have some friends or former collegues there, yet do not know if they are there... Oh well, I applied anyways; 10,000 hrs 121 Boeing experience w/8000 PIC Boeing and they still don't recognize you as a pilot; go figure huh???

Someone pulled out of the interview on the 11th (unknown reason) leaving a spot open. The next applicant was called and after being offered that open interview spot was told that this would be the last spot for the month. Seems Feb 11-13 are the only interview dates scheduled in the near future... as of today, could change tomorrow.

I just show up to the jet, do my work safely, cash my checks, and go home; I don't expect anything more out of my coworkers, either.

Good advice for some that you need two and sometimes more to do what we do here at atlas.
