Which is not to say don't apply .....
Another thing, HR pulls resumes off the top of the stack for interviews, if your stuff is 3 months old they assume you've found employment elsewhere.
FWIW

If you know someone currently at Atlas they can use the company employee website and send a letter of recommendation to HR.

The process has been changed since last year and the subjective approach has largely been done away with. Now the only way to send an application is from the Atlas website: Atlas Air, Inc.

Got a call from HR last week and had a phone interview. She said that she would forward my resume to higher up and to wait for the next call. Good news I hope.
Just a question for anyone:
1. How many hours do Reserve's fly?
2. Is Atlas on an aggressive growth plan?
Thanks in advance.

Not one person answered the question. It could be that the pilots really don't know. That is one of the greatest things about the ACMI business when you fly all over the World for a couple of weeks and then have a couple of weeks or three off. When you go home, you just forget about all of it for a good long while. Well, at least I do.
The curious want to KNOW! Especially the people that work for companies that do their best to not grow. Come on guys, spill the beans...

1. There is absolutely no telling, you could sit around the house one month and not fly and get extended a couple days the next month and fly 90 hours. What your schedule looks like at the begining of the month and want you'vve flown at the end of the month will be two different things.
2. I'd say yes. There are 2 pax planes for the Houston Express and rumors of another. The LCF flying starts this summer. The company has a history of picking up business wherever they can make money. If the world economy grows Atlas will grow.

As for Question no. 1 from above...the number of hours varies.
We don't really have a reserve system like other carriers have in place. Let me 'xplain that...
Atlas has always run a very tight ship with staffing levels that would make other airlines very nervous. I normally have my awarded trips plus a couple of days of reserve to fill up the month's schedule. Those reserve days are usually filled with flying duties.
For those junior guys that can't hold a line of flying, they are "awarded" reserve lines. By the time the 1st reserve day arrives, most of the reserve days are taken up with flying.
At least, that is how it is on the 400 at Atlas...

Hope you get the call. If you do, be ready for a ball buster 50 question test.
