I'm guessing you told them you were available immediately for a class date?

Would you mind posting your qualifications and background?

They want to attract new professional's and maintain the group they have.

From my friends and ex colleagues whom currently work here truly love the job and are very excited for the future. They need pilot's in order to sustain their growth plans while maintaining QOL for pilot's already flying the line. Management and the group are seem to be in tune with each other, in hopes that not only improves profitability and sustained growth for the company, but becomes an airline which pilot's want to hang their hat.

Good luck to everyone in this wave, and hope to see you in a class soon.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but...

"Value your time and experience"? Not so much. They seem just fine with very large attrition numbers rather than paying pilots what they are worth to stay.

"Maintain QOL"..."in tune with each other? I almost fell out of my chair laughing at those!

Make no mistake, Atlas is running VERY THIN and expect the pilots to take up the slack at every turn all for well below industry standard wages!

Now, with the recent announcement of the acquisition, there is a great deal of uncertainty about the company's intentions. Time will tell.

One Dot High, nothing personal but your entire post reeks of management BS trying to blow sunshine where it is not wanted. If you feel that these are the conditions you will be walking into, then I suggest you turn around and RUN the other way as you will be quickly dismayed. If you have the option I would return to your current employer and stay. Good Luck.

Well, I interviewed the 19th and just got the reject letter. I am flabbergasted! I really thought it went well. The tech interviewer even said I would be great for Atlas. I must've somehow disappointed the HR board. I thought I had good answers for all their questions...

I put a lot of effort into it and spent a couple grand I didn't have (airline tickets, hotel, new suit, emerald coast, etc.). Very dissapointed! Good luck to the others interviewing.

In my interview group there were 3 Kalitta pilots, 2 FO and 1 Captain (I believe an 8 year captain at Kalitta). The 2 FOs were regional FOs before Kalitta. One FO was hired, the other 2 pilots were not hired. You'd think Atlas would love pilots typed in the 747 with ACMI experience, but apparently not. Don't beat yourself up too much over it. There doesn't seem to be a magic formula.
