I had a similar experience. Got called, then no call back.

You confuse their disorganization for a lack of interest. Don't take it personal, they just have no idea what they're doing. If you're really interested keep calling. Then, when that's out of your system, question yourself if you should be really interested in the first place.

I got an email invite to take their online test a little over a year ago. I took it and scored an 89%. Then not a peep. I kept sending them new resumes with updated flight hours every week or two for months. Even talked to two younger HR ladies at OBAP. They seemed uninterested. I think I only received a "got it, thanks" response from one of the resume updates.

I've since moved on, but really couldn't tell if they were not interested in hiring me or just unorganized.

If you get the 76 you'll be CVG based. Seven Four new hires go to ANC for 6-9 months.

Question is if any other bases will open up due to Amazon flying.

Thanks. What are the chances of getting the 767 as a newhire? Friend of mine lives local and is interested if only based in CVG.

We are adding a 76 a month for the next 18 or so months so I'd say the chances are very good.

Have any other 767's besides the first one been added for the AMZN flying? I thought it was supposed to be about 3 by now.

There are 2 aircraft but still only one in use at a time. One route, still. For weeks.

Heck I'll just come right out and start the rumor....

!!!ATLAS OFFERS AB-INITIO!!!

Like anything in this world....it gets old after a while. Come on over....Fly the 747 or 767...then watch your seniority elsewhere drop. Then you'll finally start to realize..."hmm, I wish some one with experience would have warned me..."

...that's best case scenario btw. You could come here - have little-to-no experience, maybe bust a type ride (not uncommon), or worse get violated and have it taint your record.

Your call. Take the risk. A bit cavalier and sophomoric in my opinion. I've been there myself decades ago. I understand some people can only learn that way.
