Did they have specific November dates for you? I'm waiting on call back too. Already did phone interview last month and passed but had to turn down October interviews.

Thanks for you personal insight, but I did not say I didn't try. 22 VX days since completing OE at the end of July and ZERO OT, none, nada, zip. So I will stand by my statement expect no OT as a new hire

32 of the 126 listed new-hires are currently in class (not yet listed on the seniority list), but yes, the remaining 94 are vacancies, not filled positions. What we're discussing is that they will no doubt be filled within the next 3-4 months.

Ok, so obviously some have been able to view their score. Should I be worried that I didn't get mine? With 100 questions and 60 minutes I ended up timing out at question 99. Hopefully that's not an immediate fail...

You sure this is a gig you really want, with a callsign of "ASpilot2be," you sure you won't ditch us as soon as AS calls? Just getting tired of having so many guys come here for a year or two, then bail when the airline they really want calls. Does nothing to help the pilot group. It's getting old, fast. Plenty of us here are trying to make this a place to stay, it's hard to do when folks keep ditching us for their "real dream Airline." You callsign makes me think you'll do the same. Not judging, just saying "the writings on the wall"...or in your case, your Avitar.
It's actually quite the opposite...pilots are leaving because the company treats us like crap, with sub-standard pay, and benefits, etc etc.
If anything it makes our case stronger when pilots leave for opportunities that we all know are out there to better their lives. I'm in my early 50s so a job at FDX/DL/UA etc is a moot point but for the youngster (!!) let 'em come here and live the life (such as it is) and move on. And those of us that are here can use that to our advantage and get a better CBA next time.

I'll be starting class in late November and I'm looking forward to it!!! I read and re-read this thread so many times and its full of so much good info. I still came up with a few questions.
1. One guy mentioned that if you buy fake stuff in China, customs in ANC might catch you. Can anyone expand on this?? If I buy something like a shiny new laptop or camera in HKG tax free, will I get whacked by customs???
2. What are the options and alternatives to lugging a metal frame PNT bag up the ladder on the 747? How do you store your luggage on the 74/76? My intention is to carry the lightweight, expandable Travel pro roller bag I am using now, and then something like a backpack or duffel bag instead of the flight case I used to carry when I was flying an RJ.
3. Do any of the hotels let you keep a grab-bag on the premises? Keeping a coat handy in ANC seems to make more sense than hauling it everywhere.
4. I see Atlas guys can use Known Crewmember... is anyone using "Global Entry?" It is the trusted traveller program sponsored by US Customs. I ask because I have the same name as someone that skipped the country like 25 years ago and each time I come home to the US i have to waste 5-20 min of my time in the office.
Thanks for the info guys, and fly safe!
