Does hiring seem come in waves as they work through the process for certain class dates? I've seen multiple people get calls the day of or after uploading their resume. Don't know if that's typical or timing based.

It is all a big mystery. Just update your app every couple weeks, and you'll eventually get called.

HR has a couple events this month. FAPA in Phoenix this weekend and then an Open House at the training center in MIA on the...14th I believe.

Wouldn't hurt to make an appearance if you can swing it.

Hiring has stayed pretty consistent over the last few years, with between 450-850 hired each year. There are interviews held either 3 days a week during heavier times and 2 days a week otherwise.

The question you seem to be asking is how does one get their resume noticed so that a phone screen is offered.

This may be the mystery, but as mentioned there are methods/approaches the probably help. These include;

Find someone who works here or someone who knows someone here and seek an internal referral

Attend a hiring seminar as suggested

Plumb social media, Pilots of Atlas Air Recruiting on FaceBook is one place to start

One method that would likely be most successful is to PM me and find out where to send $5000 in unmarked bills 😂

I'll give anyone who wants one an internal ref... they make it so easy... and who doesn't like free money?!

Kind of a random question, but would anyone be willing to PM me the name of the hotel used for training? My last type rating, the hotel allwoed pets and I'm hoping I can swing that for 3 months of training here.

I asked the same question and was told they use a couple different hotels and that they do not allow pets.

For 747: How long can a new hire expect to be on reserve and how often are reserves used? Just want to make sure my expectations are inline with reality.

How long can 747 new hire expect to be on reserve and are reserves used much? I think the company info presentation said 6 months but I can't remember.

Our Reserve is not like other airlines reserve. R1, home reserve awaiting OE, yes, but after that you are more likely to have a Secondary Line than Reserve. R1 home reserve is used in a few other situations as a schedule filler, like before or after a vacation or training event etc.

R2 (Downtown Hotel Reserve) and R3 (Airport Reserve done at an Airport Hotel) often pay the most due to CRT (Duty Rig), although it is not guaranteed.

It is a paid commute to base, with a paid hotel in base, earning CRT and per diem the entire time.

Secondary Lines are what you should be wondering about. I have a buddy on the 747 that is on his 2nd 60 day bid, stuck with all Secondary lines, but he bid out of ANC before OE to more senior bases. They are typically minimum guarantee, 17 days available to work, sitting at home doing a 1700 UTC schedule check for work begining at least the "day after tomorrow." If assigned a trip, Gateway could be "tomorrow." You cannot be on reserve. You cannot be held in base with no follow on trips.

Good to know, so i'm assuming the wait to get primary line in ANC would be quicker than CVG?
