Other than CVG where else does Atlas base 767s? I feel like I recall something about MIA and JFK...

Just CVG and JFK for the 767.

How long does it typically take to hold JFK on 767 and which base has more European flying?

Longer in the pool has nothing to do with it...selection after the interview (where the Union does have reps present) is a process that is opaque to anyone else but the HR and others in the company.

So, did they play favorites? Likely...if only for the cost of commuting a guy up to ANC since they buy us tickets and hotels (even in our base), they are free to do that...we may not like it but there it is.

Good luck

Makes perfect sense to me as well.

Ummm and in addition to what was posted above, there is nothing in the way of pool seniority with HR. They hire who they want when they want and no one is entitled to a class date sooner just because they've been "in the pool longer." That is how it works with most jobs.

Also it appears 747 hiring is on halt now until Feb. So all you "gotta have the whale" jockeys are gonna have to wait 😉

Asking for a specific fleet and asking to wait for it is really bad idea if you really want to be at Atlas (or you wanna leave your current place or you wanna really get to Atlas to get to someplace else!!)

Good luck.

Does anybody have any intel how competitive a 3500TT, 1500TPIC (91/135) pilot would be? Trying to see if what's competitive for someone without any 121/Mil experience.

Thanks in advance.
