Treading water in the pool with you... have not heard anything definitive... talked with DB briefly before holidays, gave indication that phone calls will be made in mid Jan to "all" those that are currently in the pool as to what to expect in the coming months... hopefully some firm class dates for a lucky few or even some tentative ones for the bottom dwellers (since we're all racked and stacked)... I had heard that further interviews had been pushed back to June time frame but now are back on for February so am taking that as a positive sign... hope we both get the call soon!!

Cliff, this is John H from USA Jets (currently with Avenge Inc.). Your old email doesn't work anymore and I don't have your phone number. Is it possible for you to contact me?

Just read all 283 pages...wow. I'd have to say the Atlas folks on here are 1st class for all they've shared to help the next wave(s) of pilots out. Incredible amounts of information with nary a negative about the job. Bravo!
Hope to have my resume in by next week.

I wouldn't discourage anyone from applying. It seems there is a pretty wide range of experience, and total times that make it through the process. What are they looking for exactly? No one can really say! Send your stuff in, and keep updating it. The phone won't ring, if you don't give them your number! Take each part of the process seriously, and make sure you've done your homework with the online test before you decide to take it.
Good luck and keep after it!

Yes, I think you are in the game. All the classes in the last couple years have been a complete cross section of experience. With that said, the biggest thing you can do to help yourself fast is get a LOR from a current Atlas pilot, and a bigger plus is one that has flown with you. (and willing to say so 
)
But the parking of the -200s has begun. Unfortunately, the first group of PFE's were just furloughed and the training center will be plugged with the -200 pilots in -400 school.
Good luck.

It is normal to NOT stay together. Some bases tend to the more traditional with crews staying together, but by a VERY far margin, the norm is constant change, daily. errrrrrrrrrrr I mean more like every few hours.

What whaledriver really means is that there is nothing that is NORMAL at Atlas, isn't that right?!!
In fact, I have even been told in the past that we are not really an airline, just a B2B outsourcing outfit that just happens to move airplanes to bring in revenue.
