Does Atlas allow a multiplier?
I don't think they allow a multiplier but I would apply anyway. There is a lot of movement right now.

On the application they sent me to fill out it said "convert military to civilian time using a factor of 1.2"

If thats what your looking for its at least going to put more drops in your bucket.

There is no such thing as "positive space" at Atlas. Atlas buys it's crew members a confirmed revenue seat. "Positive space" is a term used at airlines that have training travel in their CBA and it is a non-revenue ticket.

Oh, come on......(there, fixed it for you).

I'm not getting technical but positive space and a confirmed ticket are two totally different things. You say positive space around here and they have no idea what you are talking about.

Besides, I wouldn't take advice from someone who doesn't know the difference between "common" and "come on".

To get really technical, positive space and confirmed seat are not the same. You're thinking "must ride", that's a confirmed seat. My airline had to change the coding because you can still get bumped off a positive space if the flight is oversold. Sorry, too much?

Not too much. great explanation and spot on. Thanks.

At Atlas though there is neither positive space or must ride. There is only a revenue ticket which is not the same as a "confirmed seat" at a carrier that has training or DH travel in the contract. I only meant to differentiate between a confirmed revenue ticket, i.e., paying passenger and what a lot of people on this thread continue to incorrectly define as Atlas' travel policy of "positive space".

Agreed. I was just pointing out that the closest thing to a revenue ticket is a must ride. That said, I hope I get the "yes" email in the next couple of days and then i don't have to worry about any of this silly terminology anymore.

Beats me. I got pretty excited when they sent me the test, but after years of applying, I'm used to the idea of not working for them. I think the only reason I got the test was internal recommendation.
