It's up to us, not the 25%.

I don't disagree with that statement, and that sentiment, but it is impossible to get from one fully-negotiated and one arbitrated CBA to a mature CBA...even if the Atlas group was to your (and my) liking.

It is absolutely up to us to take the next round of negotiations by the horns and take the next CBA to where it belongs...

Thanks to everyone on here who has contributed to this thread. The gouge was spot on and a HUGE contributing factor to my getting this far.

Congratulations!! Now start preparing for one heck of an adventure! So far there don't seem to be any whispers that I've heard of, for any up coming classes..today, but can easily change tomorrow.

Now if I may add a request. I have been collecting gouges that I privately distribute to those that come seeking it. You say the gouge here was invaluable, if you are willing to pay it forward to the next generation of interviewers, would you mind taking a moment and writing down your interview experience to the best of your memory and sending a copy to me (PM)?

For those that are preparing for an Atlas interview, please feel free to PM me and I'm more than happy to help you in your studies

STR8NLVL,
Congrats on getting into the pool, way to stick with it and climb the ladder!

Worldfr8dog,
Thanks for taking it upon yourself to help others come up. Although I'm not there yet, I appreciate the effort and selflessness. Hopefully there are more like you out there!

Totally agree and have noticed the Chowdry mentality several times flying the line. They are the ones willing to go without adequate catering, they are the ones violating the contract, and they are the ones who have held this place back. Good thing these guys are leaving.

Hi all,

Got the email yesterday that I am in the pool as well! I will gladly post some interview gouge soon.

As for application time to interview, I applied in February of 2012 and updated twice. Got email to take online 100 question test in January 2014 and took it two days later. Called for phone interview about 2 days after passing the test and was offered the opportunity to interview in MIA. Feb 11 interview and emailed yesterday that I was successful and will be contacted for a class date. Good luck to all and see you guys out there!

Total time 11000
PIC 3600
3 years of college but no degree
Have a corporate, regional and heavy jet Intl background.

People make it sound like UA, AA/US, and Delta are just handing out jobs to anyone that applies. While I agree with you that people are getting hired, there is still a lot of competition and it isn't exactly easy to get a job at one of these places. I have over 10K TT, 4.5K+ RJ PIC, letters of rec and my phone isn't ringing.

After 10+ years at a regional I couldn't agree more. I'm impatiently waiting for my phone to ring for a class date and couldn't be more excited. No more commuting, travel the world, and the potential to make more money in the long run. Hopefully, it will get even better with a new contract in a couple years.

stock price

For those of you already employed by Atlas, any insights as to why the stock is performing so poorly? There was an adjustment when the aircraft from BA were returned but the price never seemed to recover. Concerns over the CBA? Worldwide widebody freight market? Thoughts?
