There's a Dec. 5th 747 class. Buddy of mine is in it. Not sure how big.

Took the test last night & I concur with Wolfpack's assessment....WHEW!!! That's a load off, and happily a pass reported on the test summary page. I understand there are interviews in Jan and I hope to buzz on down the Turnpike for a slot!

I went to the EWR job fair in October, where I dropped off my Resume. Got the call to take the test last Monday. Prior non-flying military (Navy Subs) & 9 years in the RJ with one measly year in the left seat...you guessed it....Comair! This has been the best thing to have come my way in my aviation career. I hope it comes to fruition so I can be a part of a fantastic operation! All my friends over there are really loving it!!

Good luck Hover, after Comair flying here you will pinch yourself and giggle when you realize it's not a dream.

Just took the online test. Long ,but a lot you either know or don't, very straight forward. But RTFQ! Several questions seem to be written to check whether you are reading or just jumping at answers. All the info here is right on. Thanks to all for all the information.

Guys,

Your world has now shrunk by a huge factor...imagine taking off from the US and 14 hours later end up in Dubai...imagine taking off from Perth, Australia, and end the day in Johannesburg...or imagine taking off from Santiago, Chile, and making the landing in Auckland, NZ.

That is the way things work at Atlas...the crews, the airplanes, the job, etc are near the top of the pyramid. The company shows promise, the ACMI business is coming along nicely, and management has left no stone unturned looking for new business. Our relationship with management could be better, but show me an Airline v Labor relationship that is cordial.

And what are the alternatives? VX, JB, AA? No thanks...flying 5 legs a day, I'm too lazy for that now!! Ok, I'm a little harsh with the comparison, but you get the point. Unless FDX, SWA, or UPS call you...Atlas might just be the best gig in town.

Good luck.

member - How long did it take you to receive an invite to take the test after you submitted your resume? I sent my resume and PAQ in two days ago and have not received an email. Mil pilot, 3500 hours, IP/EP, all heavy international time. Thanks!

captainv

been a while, but it took me two months to get the phone interview.

xjtguy

Yep, seems to be kind of all over the place. I was 5 weeks from submittal to phone call. Other guys seem to be 4 months, etc.

hey guys....what can a new hire expect are far as bases, skeds etc? how easy is it to change bases? do all of your trips start in base or do you sometimes commute with an airline ticket to meet the aircraft?

thanks
