Thousands of highly qualified apps, so somewhere between 10 minutes and never. Not the answer you want, but I have recommended quite a few buddies and some seem to get the call within a few weeks, and a few (highly qualified) haven’t been called yet months later. Just because you’re qualified doesn’t mean you’ll get a call, HR is a mystery here. Having someone send your resume with a recommendation to our HR rep seems to help move the stages along. Good luck.

Don’t listen to this last guy. You’ve gotten the phone screen already so you’ve met HR’s hiring mins. I’d expect an email any day now to schedule an interview. It generally takes a week or two for them to get back to you, but as I’m sure you’re aware, everyone in the company is pretty busy right now with peak season starting.

Everyone has their own personal experiences. A few years back, I recieved and aced the online test, was contacted by phone and was told to expect an interview during a certain week in October......and then never heard from them again. So who knows.......

Default Atlas Rumor Roundup

To stoke the coals a bit, I figure I'd do a quick 'rumor roundup' of everything happening at Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings.

CARES Act
- Atlas Air reportedly received a grant of $406 million in taxpayer money from the CARES Act for payroll support.
- Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis, wrote a letter to AAWW CEO John Dietrich demanding an audit of how the funds were used for the Payroll Support Program. The documentation was required to be submitted by yesterday - November 2nd, 2020. It'll be interesting to see what Purchase, NY, did with the money.
- Atlas Air has a COVID-19 memorandum of understanding with the Teamsters for increased per diem rates and premium pay on particular operations into 'high risk' locations that's set to expire at the end of the year despite coronavirus cases spiking going into the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere. Atlas Air has not indicated extending the MOU in 2021 and it is believed the vast majority of the CARES Act funds were not being used for their intended purpose.

Airframes
- Atlas Air recently pulled its remaining 747 from the desert thus putting the entire fleet into service.
- The company has purchased Virgin Atlantic's 747s and is rumored to be acquiring additional 747s from defunct air carriers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Allegedly two 767s are being transferred to Amerijet.
- There are "new" 767s on the ramp in Wilmington that are rumored to be newly acquired by Atlas and will go into operation next year.
- 777, 767, and 737 pax planes are being sold off to be converted to freighters for various unnamed customers. So far, there's nothing official coming from AAWW, but between record profits, a windfall of nearly half a billion dollars of taxpayer money, and Bain Capital Credit investing in AAWW, there's a lot going on behind the scenes.

Growth & Hiring
- Atlas recently signed contracts to begin parcel airlift from China to South America through Cainiao, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s logistics arm.
- Atlas Air and All Nippon Airways (ANA) launched a codeshare partnership on Tokyo-Chicago flights.
- Atlas/Southern allegedly wants to grow to 3,000 pilots by the end of 2021, so hiring looks like it will continue through next year and potentially much bigger in 2022.
- The 777 has been the fleet growth plane pre-COVID, however, as 777 freighter demand has increased, it is believe more 777s are coming based on rumored contracts, the additional hiring of 777 pilots, and as CBA negotiations move closer to arbitration with an Atlas/Southern SOC as a result.
- Hiring has continued on the 737 despite no new flying announced with DHL or Amazon; rumors that additional flying may be coming to the 737 fleet because of the ongoing hiring despite Sun Country and Mesa acquiring Amazon and DHL contracts in recent months.
- ATSG/ATI continues growing with Amazon, which is notable in light of Amazon shifting 767 contracts from Atlas to ATI. However, with the new CVG hub Primed (pun intended) to open in 2021, there's belief that more Amazon flying will inevitably make its way to Atlas if they can get their shiz together. Moreover, Amazon is gearing up its air cargo hubs in Lakeland and San Bernadino.

Contract Negotiations
- The company is putting out lots of propaganda about how the union ask is to expensive while the company continues to use economic modeling tools that overly inflate the cost per pilot.
- The company claims the new contract would cost them approximately $700,000 per year per pilot which is asinine. If that were the case, they should give us the UPS contract to save them money.
- The company just recently offered a concessionary contract supposal in last week's negotiations which consists of approximately a 10% raise, removal of CRT (basically a rig) in base, elimination of O/T premium pay, a $0.10 raise for per diem for the life of the contract, and current book value for just about everything else.
- When the union communicated the details of the company's supposal to the pilots, management apparently flipped their lids for the union's transparency.
- The contract is likely going to arbitration mid-February and, without any delays from the arbitrator, should be finished no later than mid-May 2021. I'll believe it when I see it.

Default Atlas Leather Jacket For Sale

On a completely unrelated note, I'm trying to downsize, and it's time to offload this lightly used Atlas Leather Uniform Jacket. Used very rarely and it is yours for a steal. Normally $400 at new hire, today (and until anyone buys it) it's yours for only $150 including stateside mailing. You can email me at [email protected] for photos, but it's a Medium and in perfect condition. Thanks, matt

We have 8 737s, and big boss (one of them) said last week we have enough pilots for 10 737s, and we keep running classes so...... More planes must be coming our way eventually

Any chance for beards in the next contract?

Nice roundup. These political letters, with ultra short deadlines are mostly for show. If you accept the terms of the grant and the govt gives you the grant and you follow the terms (ie, keep folks employed) and grant doesn't have rules you have to be going broke, then you are probably going to be able to keep the money, and Atlas will be able to show that they used it as intended - at least there is a pretty good chance of that. No question some bogus windfalls, but I'm skeptical about a lot of money going back from cargo companies.

The other piece, the deadlines for reporting on how used will be in the award documentation itself, and one HOUSE member (not even a senator) - is not going to be the one to change those legal documents.

The company is resisting selection of an arbitrator as their latest delay tactic. They contend CBA Section 21 dealing with selection of a neutral arbitrator doesn't apply. They’ve turned the matter over to their legal firm and could be headed to arbitration on procedure to choose an arbitrator. Atlas would like nothing more than no union influence in selection of a pro management arbitrator to impose an overall pay cut. Their first economic supposal after 5 years is just that. Company income is up over 2600% and they proposed to give a 10% raise and make the pilot group pay for it and more via loss of base rig and all OT. Management intends to keep their 50% + discount for pilots for the next decade.
