Good luck!

Is anybody able to give a timeline/general footprint for Atlas training through IOE I've been looking through all the forums, but haven't been very successful.
Thanks in advance!

The actual IOE takes from a week to month depending on your previous experience.

In fact, that thread is where all of the posters here should be looking. It has a wealth of information all about Atlas and the hiring process.
For instance, there is this post on the exam ...

I had some questions about what type of drag, which I may have flunked, because let's face it, my private was over 25 years ago!...
So a look of this section in the chapter 4 of the FAA pilot's handbook of aeronautical knowledge will help.
I also found a new booklet to read at your bedside table, perfect to give you a good night of sleep. Be familiar with codes and more especially chart symbol. FAA AC circular on aviation weather
I had a few questions on the usual calculations you may be asked at an interview regarding crossing a VOR with time, distance, rate of descent, etc... Sounds somewhat easy, but the problem is that you only have so much time!
A counter at the bottom left of the screen remind you that you are answering 100 questions in 60 minutes, and how you are doing. That's 36 seconds per. Some you will answer in less time than that, but others?...well, better move on to another one and come back later for it, as you will be able to do this.
I suggest that you devote your time doing this with no interruption whatsoever. I personally did it at home, kid and wife in bed.
Somewhere on this thread, are buried a good number of the questions that have been asked in the past. I would say 75% of the test still incorporate the same questions, although it appears that each test does not look exactly alike. They must have a different set that they send out for each individual.
I hope this help with your question.
PS: I have done the test and passed the 3 weeks ago.
That same week, I went to the job fair in Miami, hoping to convince them that I was the best pilot they have ever seen. (It did not work!...:-)
So I just sent this week an E-mail politely asking if there was any chance I could be on the list in the coming interviews? The answer I got was that I still have to wait for the phone interview call from the hiring manager. This surprised me a bit, because I was hoping that a job fair would bypass this process, as you are essentially answering the same questions, but in person this time.
Ah well, such is life.
Next, I will probably ask if I can wash his/her car or mow the lawn when spring comes in Purchase.
