Question about reapplying. When guys reapply in january are you using the same account as before our creating a new one? do you have to use a different email address?

 

In January when you apply with the 2018 app, your information from 2017 will autofill and you'll just need to be sure everything is brought current.

 

121 jet. We'll see.

 

Correct.... That's where I was.

Younger guy in my class had 4 or 5k, but he also had worked for Brown in college.

Last class of 19 had:

6 atlas
2 ABX
2 Emirates
1 Ethiad
1 Alaska
1 Omni
2 corporate
1 Regional (republic)
3 MIL

Though the classes tend to fluctuate with composition, Atlas guys have had good representation over the last couple of years. All of the Middle East guys I've come across were L seat, some were instructors too. Not sure what the current RJ guys are looking like but in the 2015 time frame we were mostly all higher time LCAs with many guys also involved in their safety depts, training/fleet managers, etc.

DAL et als should like your stats, no? Commando will tell you to get on there and don't look back - you could upgrade into an oversized RJ with 1950's tech within a year... I say, whoopiddy-f'in-do, but agree not to hold out for UPS. FedEx? Same job, very similar contract, company a little nicer (on the surface).

OTW I know Atlas is a great ticket to opening more doors but it does come with a cost of being gone more than you might want to be. Your posted stats are competitive at the legacies - perhaps you could go direct vs layover at an ACMI gig and if you really have the bug for brown/purple you can always jump ship...if you dare.

Good luck.

 

What was the mil pilot's backgrounds?

 

2 AF, 1 MC. That's all I know.

How come we rarely get navy guys?

 

They're waiting for the Top Gun 2 remake.

 

Don't jump unless you can stay there the rest of your career. I had a friend do the same and still hasn't been called by UPS.

UPS does hire quite a few from Atlas but there have been a sprinkling of regional guys in the last few classes. That is today. Doesn't mean it will stay that way.

Apply to all the legacies. Nothing says you can't leave there for UPS if you really want.

 

I think they will continue to hire from Atlas big time, for as long as they can. We're getting proven guys with heavy metal international experience. The transition to Brown for these guys is going to be pretty easy.

I also believe that they will continue to fill classes with straight military guys and regional guys. While the transition to Brown may not be quite as easy for these guys, I'm sure that a vast majority will adapt and have no problems.

I did. I left Delta after 6 years to come here. Of course, 2005-2007 were different times in the airline world. Back then, a lot of legacy guys were bailing from the big boys and coming to fly boxes for stability. Now...not so much.
