never gave a hoot to fly pax. Boxes dont scream. I know that a small portion of Atlas does pax charter.
IAH is almost all PAX flying.
My worst legs/trips have been cargo legs, due to a variety of problems.
However, unless you are at IAH and doing the 8 working days to get 90+ hour deal, you will be flying a lot less PAX than at the Legacy carriers.
For the right person, I think Atlas is a really good place to work.

Wow! That is fast. I got that email but chose to delay taking the test. Good luck this week. How long many hours you study before taking the test?

EVERY pilot at Atlas is a PAX pilot. If you are very senior, you could bid a base where there is no PAX flying, and if your schedule changes to make you fly PAX, you can scream at scheduling and probably avoid it. If you are junior, you will fly PAX. About half my current pattern was pax (Hajj pilgrims).

In 5 1/2 years I've done three pax flights. That was while being based in JFK. One needs to pay attention to the flights on the bidlines. I bid my days off footprint first. Then I go back through and throw everything with a 747Y (code for pax flight) out of the pool. The three pax flights I did wind up with were the result of being tagged in mid pattern.

Just got back home from the Miami interview today. Amazing experience, from beginning to end! Everyone was wonderful, fun, informative, and low-stress. The Tech and HR interviews were straight-forward/no tricks. Basically what's already been discussed previously on this thread. Good group of guys; no one I wouldn't want to fly with.
By the time I landed in DFW, I had a message offering the October 12 class for the 747, which I accepted. Can't wait to start; fortunately only have to wait 'til Monday!
It was great to meet all the other guys who were there today!

Everyone else should notice they're offering class dates in less than a week. Heard a rumor they had 10 spots to fill in Monday's class. We're interviewing a ton of people in October, but the pool is obviously empty.

Just finished the interview and hoping to be called for one of the two slots left for the 12OCT15 class! Anyone else get a call?
And yes, as said before, it was a great experience! Everyone was happy to have us, and made us feel comfortable. They are looking for people excited to work at Atlas and want to make sure it's the right lifestyle. At the end of the day, it was a pleasurable experience.
