Or are they on separate lists because they expressed a "preference" for one airframe over the other? Anyone know?

Mine says preferential. I think I remember an HR lady during the interview presentation mention that is the standard term they use.

Correct. HR at Atlas refers to it as the "preferential hiring list". The head of HR even said she only refers to it as a "pool" because that's the term that pilots stick with(as well as most other airlines). Everybody is saying the same thing, just using different terminology.

If the next two classes are 60-ish pilots each, maybe. Seriously, don't sweat it. 767 classes are running every three weeks. 747 took a break to catch up on OE, as that's the real bottleneck, but starts up again soon. Your numbers will come up soon enough, I think.

I wish I had that kind of insight, but I don't. I know from my interview group (of 12, how times have changed!) that we had a 747 driver who acted like they owed him the job; a military guy who didn't know beans about Atlas, but figured showing up was good enough; and an RJ guy who was kicking tires but not really into it. That said, we had two military guys who knew more about Atlas then than I do now; a 747 pilot who was confident but humble and was a great hire (and has now left Atlas for UPS), and plenty of RJ guys who wanted it bad and made it, myself included. And yet there were still some guys who seemed perfect but didn't get it.

All I can say is re-apply and see what happens.

How in the world do we have an 83% hire rate? When we interviewed v, the rate was much lower. HR must have gotten really good with the phone interview. I would hire everyone who showed up, personally, but 83% just seems odd. I just don't know how the training department can manage such growth.

The class sizes for the next few months are set. If they hadn't found enough qualified applicants, they would have interviewed more at the end of the month.

83% doesn't affect anything. Except that the Company probably won't interview again until March.

And so on, until it changes.

Question for anyone in the know. I took the Online Assesment about 2 weeks ago but haven´t heard anything from HR. I scored in the 90s on the test and sent the required docs in right away.

Any idea when time is up and they just won´t call?
