The Donald may be coming to a country near you! Let's make America great again, I am to understand, means American jobs for Americans? Outsourcing and decent wages are issues that he said he will attacking. Does Atlas not have a lot of Government and/or military contracts? Maybe the Atlas MEC should approach things from that angle? Just ideas.

Not worth a response ...

Fellow DC8Driver, it was written as tongue in cheek just so you know I am not being too serious.

You guys know how copper wire was invented right?

I find it interesting that 9 out of 10 Atlas guys (and gals) claim that Atlas will hire as soon as minimums are met. I was recently at a job fair and was fortunate to have the chance to meet a recruiter (great group). Although hiring mins are 2000TT and 500 jet, the recruiter informed me that they are looking for pilots with much more flight time. At the time, I had just over 2500 TT, 1050 jet, 121 experience, no checkride busts or driving infractions, and I'm bilingual (almost trilingual if French conjugations weren't a weakness of mine). He asked about internal recommendations and I informed him that I had 4. Still haven't even gotten the online assessment haha. Oh well. Patience is key!

My experience with airline recruiters over the last few years is that what you hear from a recruiter has absolutely no bearing on the response you will get to your application.

Hope that's the case here! :)

I applied online jan4 and got the exam in by the 10th and haven't heard from them, how long is the wait???

some people waited days or weeks.. others a year or two

I applied on September 2nd and haven't heard a peep.
