Congrats on passing the online test. It was really tough, I agree and I went in with a lot of oceanic crossing experience. I hope this helps on your timeline question. Since November of 2010, 8 pilots from my C17 Air National Guard squadron have been called by Atlas. The one thing that has been consistent with all, is that the initial telephone screening happened 4 months after the application was submitted online. The 1st of those 7 just finished -400 training about 5 weeks ago. I am the 2nd and will start Monday. I applied in Feb 2011 and got the call on June 3rd.(exactly 4 months). I took the test June 8 and was called for the interview the next day. I took the earliest interview offered(one week later) June 14th and 9 days later received the pool letter(June 23rd). 18 days later, I was offered a class date of August 1st. The big mistery seems to be how long people stay in the pool. (I don't have a clue on the pool, but next week when I start training, I will be asking questions to try and get some answers for this forum.) Best of Luck!!!!

The "not-yet-published" "official" word from the management type that visited our class was for 3 76's begining operations in November. Of this year.
For those who want to know what questions are asked during the phone interview or who need to have the past 180+ pages paraphrased, you probably shouldn't bother applying. If you can't muster the interest, dedication, or common sense involved in researching a thread as chock full of information as this one is, you will likely never make it through the training program at Atlas.
Atlas looks for self motivated individuals who are dedicated enough and resourceful enough to be trained as captains from day one. Not to say that new hires ARE captains, just that Atlas requires a great deal of dedication and effort from a new hire to make it through training because they seem to hold their pilots to a VERY high standard.

Well...before we start casting stones at me, I did randomly scan through quite a bit of the thread before posting my initial polite request for the most recent information. A large portion of what I read was random chit chat from months ago exchanging class dates, congratulating one another and so on. I don't see the harm in asking an Atlas pilot to share the "current" scoop after nearly 200 pages of a thread. Ease off the hair triggers.

If a guy on here asks me for some help, the last thing I am going to do is be arrogant and condascending like I have seen in recent posts. Those who have, ought to be ashamed of themselves, especially if they are already representing the company. The people I met at my interview were extremely friendly and were genuinely nice which is the way I would choose to represent this company. Not arrogance.
Now back to providing information about this awesome company!
