I took the train from NRT to NGO today. What a great ride. Just the elimination of the limo from the airport to the hotel in NGO is reason enough to take the train. Easy, fast, quiet and clean. No worries about lost luggage, no security screening, no other airport hassles. I would highly recommend it to anyone who gets transferred between NGO and NRT. Total time is 3.5 hrs hotel lobby to hotel lobby.

Great information contained throughout the thread! Thank you to all who have posted, this thread covers just about everything an aspiring Atlas needs to know. I'm a retiring Air Force pilot, received an e-mail to take the online test. Fast a furious with the studying now, hoping to get this done soon and advance in the process. Atlas is exactly the kind of flying I would like to do!

this is a great website for researching train options in Japan.
HyperDia | ???? ???? ??? ???? ??? ???????
i recently took the bullet train from Hiroshima to Tokyo, then the Narita Express to NRT, instead of waking up at 3 am to fly coach on ANA (biz class was sold out) . it was awesome, rode the bullet train for 5 hours and enjoyed every minute, and i guarantee i'd be the first to get lost. there's always someone around who speaks English and can point the way.

I managed to get lost on a train system once -- in England. However there was a very senior Captain involved, so I think that I was a victim.

Just got the call for the 5/19 class!
I can't express enough my gratitude to those who took the time to put the excellent information on here. Look forward to life around the grill for the next couple of months!
And for those wondering about my experience, 6,900 TT, 1,200 TPIC, all civilian regional time. I started applying in Oct 2010 as 0 TPIC FO with two internal LOR's. Went to WIA in 2013, and updated my résumé and PAQ about every 3 months or every time they reopened their hiring. Received the link to the test on 1/30, took it on the 2/2, phone screen on the 2/3, interviewed on the 2/12, pool letter on 2/27.
YMMV
Good luck to all those currently applying. Feel free to email of you've got questions about the test or interview experience. I'll be happy to pay it forward. [email protected]
