Atlas Pre-Interview test info
 

Hey can someone link me to the page that has all the subject areas the Written Test covers again.

I thought it was Atlas Air Hireing page 1095, but that doesn't appear to be it.

New laptop, lost the bookmark.

Pg. 1099 is what you're looking for, I believe.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

Time to waste some sits and layovers gaining a little knowledge.

If you get 80%, that's a good score. Also review your ATP written test guide. Skip figure questions too. Have a good handle on wx symbols. Up to 10 questions cover these (like prog charts, wind speed symbols, fronts, ect). Gleim has a great wx book too with all those symbols.

There ... fixed it for you.

Atlas is the place to go if you have time to waste ... on your career. Do your due diligence and look at Alaska, Hawaiian, or the big 5 for a real career. Atlas is in the process of trying to cut our legs out from under us.

It's good for interview practice, though.

The man speaks the truth guys. My buddy says it best: "Atlas is a bad slot machine that never pays out". You can do better. Way better!

word of warning....
 

Atlas Management is pulling out all the stops on their douchebagery of trying to deny us a fair Section 6 negotiation process and are hell bent on trying to amalgamate our contract with Southerns dumpster fire of a contract. To make things worse, they now have completely lost all credibility on negotiating in good faith by flat out lying about their plan all along to keep Florida West separate. Fully knowing that they would try to whipsaw between our groups. Who in their right mind would go to Florida West?? I don't know, but a good future/career is def circling the toilet here at Atlas.


I would stay far away unless you want to really risk getting furloughed.....:mad:


This was sent out today from the Atlas Exco...



URGENT MESSAGE: Atlas Teamsters File For Mediation

Dear Fellow Atlas Crew Members,

There have been some recent developments regarding our collective bargaining negotiations. Yesterday afternoon, AAWW President and CEO Bill Flynn and Atlas Air’s Vice President of Flight Operations Jeff Carlson made an about face and informed us that AAWW does not intend to merge Florida West into a single operation with Southern Air and Atlas/Polar, and that it intends to operate Florida West separately from – and as a parallel operation to – Southern and Atlas. In other words, AAWW intends to operate Florida West as a double-breasted airline to whipsaw the Atlas/Polar and Southern pilots in order to reduce our wages, benefits and job protections.

Mr. Flynn’s announcement regarding Florida West is no less than a declaration of war against the Atlas and Southern Teamsters by AAWW and its leadership. Earlier this year, Mr. Flynn, in a face-to-face meeting with International Brotherhood of Teamsters President James P. Hoffa, stated that AAWW would not attempt to undermine the Teamster-represented Atlas/Polar and Southern pilots by operating any of its carriers, including Florida West, in a parallel, i.e., double-breasted operation. Mr. Flynn did not speak the truth to President Hoffa. His true intentions have now risen to the surface, and it is all too clear that AAWW not only intends to undermine our wages, benefits and other contractual protections, but will say and do anything to achieve their objective. As part of AAWW’s plan, Atlas Air, Inc.’s John Dietrich and Captain Carlson previously terminated our RLA Section 6 negotiations, and Mr. Flynn, in his letter today, has reiterated that this is AAWW’s position going forward.

It is truly disheartening that AAWW is proceeding down its amalgamation rabbit hole and seeking an arbitrator to rescue it from legitimate collective bargaining. AAWW has repeatedly stated that it seeks to avoid legitimate collective bargaining so that an arbitrator will impose contract terms on us. AAWW’s amalgamation–arbitration strategy is designed to deprive us of our right to vote on our next contract. We were deprived of the right to vote on our last contract and now they are attempting to do it again. We must learn from past history and be vigilant in our efforts to combat their strategy. Do not be misled when Messrs. Flynn, Dietrich, Carlson or anyone else tell you that they are following our contract. They are not following the contract and are instead ignoring its terms and the law by maneuvering to get an arbitrator to impose contract terms on you again, with no right to vote on the matter.

Faced with AAWW’s stubborn refusal to bargain with us directly in RLA Section 6 negotiations, we had no choice but to file for mediation with the National Mediation Board (NMB) late yesterday afternoon. This move was made to protect our rights to vote on the next CBA. It is clear that the company is unwilling to engage in any good faith direct negotiations with us; thus we invoked the NMB’s RLA jurisdiction. We steadfastly intend to bargain for an RLA sanctioned, new, amended and lawful contract as the law requires. We will not be deterred in our quest to make sure you are able to vote on the next CBA… that you vote on your future, that you get the chance to decide what is acceptable, and that your aviation career, future and your life not be decided by a third party or by a company that is simply interested in protecting its bottom line and disgustingly large salaries and bonuses for its corporate officers.

I ask you to consider why AAWW and Messrs. Flynn, Dietrich and Carlson are so afraid of giving their pilots a fair choice and a chance to decide on their future. Why do they persist on wasting time and money trying to avoid any legitimate bargaining and deprive us of our right to negotiate and vote upon the terms of our contract? I believe the answers to these questions are clear. The pilots are united in our cause for a fair, legitimate contract, and you fully recognize that AAWW wants to cheat you out of it. I ask you to look in the mirror and decide for yourself if you want to fight back or be left stranded by tyranny and greed. It is time to unite to become even stronger and with even more resolve. It will now take all of us to protect ourselves. Voting and deciding on your fate is an American right. Taking that right away for greed and self-aggrandizement is the opposite.

It is now more critical that all of you vote to give your leadership a complete 100% vote on the upcoming strike vote.

Fraternally,

Bob Kirchner
Atlas Executive Council Chairman
APA Teamsters Local 1224

DUI and a felony? Have you looked at Atlas?

If you get a copy of their BS online test be sure to miss a few or they will know you cheated. Cheers.

Look elsewhere.

There are better scumbag operators than Atlas. This place may just burn to the ground because of greedy management. Atlas was once the "Cream of the Crap". No longer. Unless you want to enter a bitter fight and possibly lose your job, you would have a better career at a regional.

DC8DRIVER...I sent you a PM the other day.

Are interview's assigned based on score? (i.e. are you less likely to be called with a lower score, versus 100%....or is it simply PASS/FAIL?)

Has anyone been sent the test recently? Still waiting here...

I got it on Tuesday and completed it on Wednesday so hopefully they can see the score and maybe give me a shout this week. Maybe it was an advantage, but a good friend of mine did an internal rec. IDK how much that helped push it through. Got in the mid 80's on mine with some help. ATP Gleim book, Jepp WX symbols, that pg 1099 gouge are all that you need. Funny thing I find about this test is that people have received the test without meeting the mins and others have not while meeting them.

Not that I am aware of. I got called a week after I took the written test.

I got a 98%...no call.

Heard it's best to get a score no higher than an 88%, otherwise they think you cheated

You should have gotten an 89....*shakes head,walks away*

Everybody uses their best "CRM" and they know it.

Maybe HR figures if you go to the trouble to work hard to pass the test, you really want the job ...

Don't put too much thought into this test. Get a minimum score or high score is not putting much weight into whether you get an interview.

The main purpose of the test is to weed out all the not so serious people who are "just fishing" and the people who aren't even qualified.

Nothing at Atlas has changed for the better.

Instead of trying to figure out how to score well on the test and interview...do yourself a big favor and spend the time getting on with someplace better!

Atlas management is doing everything they can to destroy the quality of life of the pilots!

Cool, does the test get sent to you from that same email address that we send the PAQ/resume package to?

Piper,

Its from a [email protected]

Also before that I got an email from HR as well. I'm trying to be patient as I hear the HR team is very small there.

Studied and took the test. Got an 85%. Supposed to be in the sweet spot.

Ive been two leg commuting for reserve at a regional for almost two years with no light at the end of the tunnel. Is Atlas worse than that?

Go to the Hiring News thread under Career Builder. you will find a 1400+ pages under "Atlas Hiring" that is an ongoing discussion about your question.

So in your opinion... Yes?

Honestly Atlas is not worse than what you are doing now but why revive a thread about test prep to ask a question that is being covered every which way it can be in another thread?

Only you can answer that question.

Helpful thanks.

*sigh*

So, you're two-leg commuting to reserve at a regional with no end in sight. Is Atlas better than that? Well, that depends. What do you want? There are other regionals that have short upgrades, even street captain options. You don't want that?

Is Atlas better? How easy is it for you to get to ANC or CVG, positive space? Do you like being away from home for 17 days straight? Do you like going where we go? Do you like back-side-of-the-clock ops? Do you want to come for training, then go home and sit for 4 or 5 months, all at min pay? Are you willing to wait for more than half the airline to upgrade or quit before you can have a shot at upgrade yourself? Does our being in negotiations worry you at all?

Does that help?

Yes.


...........

Can somebody tell me what the 1099 page is? Sorry in the dark on this one. Thanks

Page 1099 of the Atlas Air Hiring thread has an outline of test subjects.

Thanks for the help

Quick question in regards to the online test folks, does the website tell you whether you passed the test or not, or does it only tell you your score?

TIA

I remember just seeing the score. Log in and take a peek. I just discovered a week ago that I had something else to fill out on the website that probably prevented me from getting a call. But who knows. So, check the website often. [emoji58]

After the exam is completed, it tells you your score
AND If You Have Passed OR Failed.

After it tells you that information, it redirects you to
An EEO/Veterans Information Page that is Voluntary to
Complete.

85% is NOT a Sweet Spot....the Passing Grade is 70%
And they have interviewed people WITH THAT SCORE.

It's PASSING THE TEST.....with a PASSING SCORE THAT
IS All that matters.
