What is the bid sheet for? Aircraft or bases?

I believe it's for both.

I heard they are pulling classics out of the desert, are they hiring any FEs?

To all of the folks called, welcome aboard! To those waiting, hang in there. It appears that hiring will be continuing well into this year. If you like adventure and get bored with routine you'll love it here. I sure do! As far as I'm concerned, this place is the brass ring.

Does anyone know if you are hired by Atlas if they have a training contract? If so how much is it and for how long? Thanks to all that have posted the great info on Atlas!

Took me 2.5 months from resume submission to the phone interview/online test. Passed both.

Been waiting 1 month so far for a call for the in-person interview. :)

I don't know of a training contract/bond with Atlas...I just heard of two guys that finished their type ratings and resigned to start at jetBlue.

I'm sure others might chime in if my info is not correct...

No training contract of any kind.

No classics to pull out of the desert.

Thanks again for all the great info...I would really like to get on with Atlas soon!!!

I sent one a long time ago, before the current PAQ/Resume method.

Sent one end of November, then another one mid December. Got got the call a week and a half ago for phone screen. Took the online assessment a few days later.

Hey Guys,
Just got back from the interview and it was a great experience. It was as advertised here in the forums. Very friendly and relaxed interview panel, tech eval and background info. NO SIM eval. The company briefing was excellent and very informative.
Some golden nuggets for you guys, AAWW was awarded the Phoenix award by ATW mag. AAWW also just announced yesterday that they will be getting 2 more 747s for DHL and one more for the pax contract. -8 deliveries are scheduled for NOV of 2011.
All in all growth, profits and stability. If you are worried about schedules, they are not bad at all. New hires from April are getting 14+ days off. If you get the nod, take it....

One more thing, don't drink too many bottles of water. They are counting......... just kidding
