ATTENTION ATLAS APPLICANTS:
Latest rumor from the school house is that 50% of a recent new hire class got pink slipped when they failed their initial new hire check rides. While they were ultimately retrained and were passed, the failures like this remain on FAA records and could have a devastating effect on a pilot's chances of moving from Atlas to a "career airline".
It is unknown if these failures are due to inexperienced students, lack of instruction, a misguided attempt to prevent attrition, or a combination of some or all of these factors.
The bottom line is that not only is Atlas management actively engaged in a concerted effort to cut our salaries and eviscerate our work rules, but taking a job here could actually be a severe detriment to your professional airline career.
It appears that Atlas is not even a good stepping stone anymore.
Beware!

And as a bonus for all new hires, the FAA now requires Atlas to give all FO's Pilot In Command Proficiency Checks (PIC Check Rides) every year. This test includes a two engine failure procedure on the 747.
