Have you spent any time on this thread? If not, please do yourself a favor and at least read back to the beginning of the year or maybe a couple of month's worth of posts. I won't tell you to read the entire thread...that is likely not necessary, but at least spend some time reading some portion of it.

Good luck.

Thank you! Yes, I have read I few posts and 1099 helped a lot, great post!!!. Got a high score on the online assessment in late June. No call yet.
But I am referring basically to a post from July:
"Phone interview tomorrow afternoon! 2 weeks after taking the test.
Can't do it now because ready to fly.
Wish me luck! "

I will read more posts. Hope they call for an interview in August. Will start sending emails as suggested as well. Thanks!!!

If you've lived abroad in the past 5 years (not including a mil deployment) can Atlas still hiring you? I know there is a law that says you can't carry US mail if you have, which precludes you from being hiring at FDX or UPS... does DHL Mail qualify under this rule?

Interestingly enough, FedEx does say it, it's been common knowledge for a while;

Candidates for jobs involving handling or access to U.S. mail cannot be considered for employment if they have resided outside the U.S., Guam or Puerto Rico for more than (6) six months during the last (5) years prior to today's date, other than the following verifiable exceptions: active duty in the U.S. Uniformed Service; trailing spouse or dependent of someone working for the U.S. government (military or civilian); missionary; student attending school in a foreign country; Peace Corps participant; employee of a U.S. based employer/company or other extraordinary circumstances.

Atlas requires you to have a green card or U.S. Passport. Lots of atlas pilots live overseas, many of them at the time they were hired.

Thanks for clearing that up, apparently a government contracting gig (which is what I'm considering doing) also won't preclude me from getting hired according to what has been posted above.

Good to know!

Also, FYI everyone I'm a newhire and I did IOE starting in Incheon with alternate travel from Guam. Finished IOE in Anchorage and used alternate travel for a hotel in Anchorage and a flight from Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh. I Atlas jumpseated the Anchorage to Hong Kong leg. Next up my awarded line started on the 2nd with R2 in Anchorage but I VX'd the start of the trip to operate Shanghai to Anchorage on the 1st. Alternate travel netted Ho Chi Minh to Shanghai on the 31st and a hotel.

My conclusion is that it's totally possible to commute from Asia as a junior guy. There are some tricks to learn and you may not know whether you're leaving on Monday or Wednesday until Sunday night, but for me that's a feature not a bug.

What do you mean by alternate travel? Jumpseat? And what does VX mean?

Atlas normally buys you a ticket from your Gateway airport in the domestic U.S. to your crew base (Gateway travel). Alternate travel means you called Travel and asked them to send you somewhere else - if it costs less or the same, they're typically fine with it. There are games you can play, but I wouldn't recommend it for a new hire.

VX = wiling to fly on a day off.
