Great information! thanks. I will admit that I have not combed through the thread for information regarding good study material for the tech test or any other interview related study guides, I am starting that right now
. So if anybody feels like throwing me some good info, awesome! if not, im searching away
Seriously though, thanks for all the quick answers and great info. Most other threads, especially over on the regional boards get you barked at for asking a question that was asked a year ago.

There are some pages that have a key explaining what previous info is available on which pages. Lot of info on the test here. The test is not easy. Just heard from an experienced pilot who was very gung ho on Atlas...he failed the test.

What SVA402 said. Don't confuse management with we working freight dogs. We don't sit in on the meetings on Mt. Olympus where these things are hashed out. We just deal with the fallout. To be clear: No Atlas pilot plotted to steal ANYTHING from another brother pilot. Never have, never will. I sincerely do know that any ABX folks who wish to work here will be welcomed with open arms. I would imagine that the same efforts will be expended on their behalf that were done for the World folks who found themselves in the same situation.

See SVA402's perfect answer to your jab...shame, shame.
It is great to see growth at one's own outfit...but NEVER at the cost of jobs at another. At least, not from a working stiff's point of view. However, management is usually not burdened by how their decisions affect real families with real problems.
Our seniority list, from top to bottom, is filled with pilots from every failed, failing, furloughing, etc airline out there...so, please don't think for a minute that the Union will not take every step necessary to get these guys on board...especially since we are in the same IBT Local.

I have read a couple different answers on this huge thread, but what is the story with the MIA base? I live down this way so if I was able to get picked up I would prefer to eventually be down here. As of today is it senior? junior? thanks
