When i last talked to someone in the hiring process, they told me that a recommendation letter gives you points, depending on how "good" the recc is. There is a Max number of points you can get-I think they said 30. So, 20 letters of recc will not help. I'm not sure how they "rank" the letters. My understanding is that the points apply all the way through the process: If you have enough points, they will call u for the phone interview, then, if you have enough points they will call u for the interview, etc., etc.

The odds of being hired with a Ltr of Recc are MUCH, MUCH higher than if you don't.....there ARE people who are hired with no Ltrs of Recc.

The hiring process is always subject to change, so all of the above info may be incorrect now.

I think there are around 25 left in the pool currently. And, some of those may have gotten other jobs and will not be available when they are called by Atlas.

How many guys were in the april 30th class???

JerrySpringer

I think there were about 5 (according to the board in the school house - they seem to be afraid to drink beer with the transition class on the patio).

Non-beer drinkers....They will have a rough time working at Atlas.

I am swimming.. Been here since Sept.. My coworker is in the April 30th class. He said he hard still over 50 in the pool.

I wish I could hear right from Denise B exactly how many are in the pool. Ive got a range of 30-50 from what i've read on here. 20 guys is a could be a 2 or 3 class difference.

This was directly from DB a couple of weeks ago.

The 5/30 class is the "last class" of the year, however, this changes daily. Keep in mind they've already had a couple of "last class" for the year.

So, after the 5/30 class it looks like about 32 in the pool. And that's assuming that all pool-ies are still available and haven't accepted employment elsewhere.

Hang in there, swimming with you.

I really hope its not the last class of the year (May 30th). With a few more 767's and a couple of 747-800's coming I find it hard to believe. But, that could be because Im swimming and I have to find some sort of hope to go on...
