This goes back to the discussion about HR hiring those who won't be able to get picked up at a major very easily. They're saying your resume qualifications are exactly what they are looking for is precisely for that reason. Someone without PIC is not incapable of leaving for the majors, in fact its very possible and probably will happen eventually , but HR knows you aren't a likely candidate to get a type rating and quickly leave. And please don't take offense, because I fall into the same low PIC category. I'm merely pointing out the fact.

Dress code for training
I've seen reference to "Business Casual" for training in this thread. Does the company define what that means? Polo shirt ok? 5.11s?
Also, are there CBTs or something to do prior to arriving?
Gracias!

For a NH, slacks and a collared shirt, don't rock the boat. Yet. You will see all kinds of things worn in the MIA TC for recurrent classes. Sat./Sun. is more all around casual, jeans etc.

Not a chance. You're talking about individuals who are only concerned with fattening their bonuses and climbing up the corporate ladder as fast as possible. They aren't concerned with the viability of the company 10 or even 5 years down the line because that's outside of their field of vision and not coexistant with their personal interests... Plus, I've heard that the break even point for a newhire pilot is around 12 months. So, as long as they get you for that long they're looking good in their bosses' eyes.

They should give you access to the CBT's well before you leave for training. Starting them early is at your option, but there will be plenty of down time during the first few weeks of training to get them knocked out too.

Soooo, just a thought, but all these guys that cant get a word back from Atlas. Whats to stop them from applying to Southern, getting hired, and eventually/hopefully being put on the Atlas seniority list IF some sort of merger happened...

And you will get access to a bunch of material before class. I started all the HR type stuff to get it out of the way but you can start the initial systems stuff to. If you so desire that is. Don't have to.

Bring a dress shirt and tie for your oral and type ride. That's something they don't tell you.

Seriously? Is that a whale thing? On the 767, there is no such presumptuousness. I didn't even bring a tie to class, wore polos or button up shirts throughout, INCLUDING the check ride. Not only did no one say anything, I think the opposite is true, they WOULD HAVE said something if I was the only guy in class to show up with a tie!

Atlas is not the 89th, not the military and we DO NOT fly missions.
