Atlas owns and controls Southern.
Southern does not hire.
Atlas hires, and then has class openings for Southern 777/737 and Atlas 747/767. If you are offered a Southern class date, you can ask to hold out for Atlas if you want. Many people have been offered a variety of class dates/airframes from Atlas HR.

Although Atlas does the initial resume sort and invite, final interviews are with Southern HR & Flight Ops Management for the 777 & 737, contrary to the post above. We are still separate airlines at the operational level.

Interesting. I have read several pilots have been offered class dates to both Southern and Atlas. I didn't realize that they had a Southern interview somewhere during the hiring process...

I hope you don’t believe everything you read on APC.

There have been pilots offered classes for the 777 and 747 that were in the same interview FWIW.

Talked personally to a guy who had passport issues upon starting class at Atlas. The only option they gave him was to go to Southern at that point.

Maybe that’s the new 737 hiring program? Hire pilots that can’t leave the country. Lol

Well I applied... thought I'd get a insta-call but no bites today. Is it as competitive as Atlas since they are in charge of selecting resumes?
