Okay, it's been two months since I took my knowledge test. Should I email them?
I'm guessing it's one of two things...they're so backed up they just haven't gotten to me yet or they're trying to tell me to look elsewhere for employment.

Atlas's growth has always been two steps ahead of its infrastructure.
email them. Fairly often.

Take that as a warning. This place means well, but it is not a smooth running machine.

I took the tech test in April and got a phone call last month to interview. I missed that call, and madly tried to call back. Eventually I emailed the HR rep who had called me. She emailed back that due to my 1 Sep availability, I should call back in August. I had set a reminder on my calendar to do so, and instead I got an email today from a different HR rep offering me an interview on either 25, 26, or 27 Aug.
Excited for the call!

Meatballs...make sure to email them often, call & be the squeaky wheel and definitely go to a job fair and meet with Atlas face to face any chance you get! They Hire many many many pilots from job fairs...the face to face is absolutely essential.
Glad my guide on 1099 helped out....That's awesome with the 91%....It looks like most of the pilots (out of the 7 I have chatted with so far) that use this guide are averaging in the 90's...great work applying yourself and studying...that's the hardest part for me, lol...I can find what to study with the best of us, however when I have to strap myself down to a desk and actually study and learn it I have to get someplace totally quiet away from home to eliminate all distractions....squirrel....where....cool...hehe

Ps, I used your gouge and got a 91% as well. So thanks for that

Folks familiar with Shanghai, I'm on an overnight here and looking for the electronics store that has been mentioned a few times. Where might I find this glorious place of cheap electronics gear that caters to airline crew?
Sorry for the diversion!

I think the cheat sheet is something like 4-3-2-1.
Line 4, 3 stops, transfer to line 2, 1 stop to the science and tech center.
Once there you will be molested and fondled by many "entrepreneurs". There's a couple shops guys mostly go to, just look for the airline stickers etc by the name of the shop. I think Dave is in A-20.... That's a random guess. He doesn't haggle and has great prices and speaks good English. If you go somewhere else, remember to give them your lowest price at first and then keep going lower
Good luck.

Hi,
I got a link to the test, preparing to take this exam. Can anyone comment on the "50% ATP" questions portion of the test. Part 91, 121, aerodynamics, just gimme a general idea what that means. The gouge on 1099 is my guide and I hope I can pay it forward to in the very near future. Gleim book, NAT track charts, FAR/AIM and other books all on the table over here.
