It took me two months to get a call. I met a couple guys at an Atlas job fair and they said it took between 10-20 months to get a call. It all depends on the needs of HR. Keep updating your resume and make sure you attend a job fair if you can. Feel free to try jumpseating on them (if you have CASS benefits). It'll give yo a chance to see the operation and meet the crews. Other than that, just be patient. I heard something about them interviewing every two to three months. Their last interviews in White Plains were a week ago exactly.

Maybe I am using the wrong browser, but when I try to download the contract on Atlasfacts.org it does not seem to be there.

Not to worry, if they hired Cliff, they will hire anybody.

Atlas must really be short of pilots, they haven't fired him... Yet!

I don't know who Cliff is, but he must be so cool that Atlas needs NO new pilots? 😜
But seriously, it would be nice if we heard something from someone in HR.

Being let down by Atlas management...they are just preparing you for working here. Time to lower your expectations.

Today, I'm sure the test invite %, or people applying, is a lot higher, as we are going through a LOT more new hires than before, due to our sh!t contract.

Namaste...

PS-PM me if you have questions.
If one has offers from Mesa and Skywest....take one or continue to wait for Atlas?
What if you start class or worse, finish class and get call from Atlas?
Thoughts?
Appreciate your input.

SkyWest is WAY, WAY better than Mesa, according to most pilots.

I would go to the regional. If you like it, stay there. If you still want to go to Atlas, and Atlas calls, then leave the regional and go to Atlas.

I think you chances of getting hired at the "Big 6" are better from Atlas, than from a regional.

Namaste...
