It can’t hurt to try! Don’t be surprised if they would want to put you in the 737 with that long away from flying.
Thank you for your response and for the tips. I applied so we’ll see what happens. I told the wife I may need to do some currency/refresher work before I get an offer.Originally Posted by HPIC
I don’t see any recency of experience requirements in the minimum qualifications on the Atlas job posting. You are obviously not legally current to act as a required crewmember since you haven’t done any BFR/PC in 10+ years, but I don’t know if Atlas would require that prior to interview/employment or not. Technically, the training and PC at the end would suffice for those legalities.However…it wouldn’t be wise to be offered a job and show up for training not having flown at all in 10+ years.

Also, I would be ecstatic to get offered a position in the 73!!
