Anyone get a call yet? I have been grilling all day waiting for the phone to ring. If it doesnt it will give me more time to study for the next round. Day dreaming of being in class and having to wake super early to do my championship brisket and pulled pork. Good times and good luck to all.

I think you'd better not plan for that call to come immediately.

Your response time will vary from a few days to around year with a majority being at least weeks or months away. The response to my many resumes was nearly nine months, so if you're sitting around the phone all day, unplug the charger and get mobile and get patient. Very patient.

And read through this thread if you haven't already done so. You'd better be prepared to field the call on the first try and if you're away from your phone, leave a message that you are flying and will return the call asap. They seem to really like eager and enthusiastic applicants.

I have no idea about getting hired with the face hair, but I don't remember seeing any new hires with it. It'll always grow back...

And PtP; I'll give you the point that they could be better at communicating to the applicants. Not everything at Atlas is perfect by a long shot. But they are very good at some really important things like hiring great people, investing in modern/efficient equipment, spreading risk among many strong customers, and making money. So hang in there. If you jumped through the hoops properly and your quals are good, they'll call. It will be worth it in the end.

I'll wait for the call before I go shaving this glorious relic...and good point on the voice mail message, that will change before the next trip.

FNG was spotted with an ALPA 'stache this week.

I think typical airline-style mouth-mounted willie-worms are OK. Save the 'fu until you're online.

YMMV.

We are a funny dedicated competitive group to watch. I'm using this time to prepare for that wonderful test that the Wright Brothers may even have to call in a few CRM pros.

Want this real bad, but I need to improve my test taking golf swing. You overachievers have raised the bar for many of us--- good luck to all. And thanks to many who have posted some outstanding material.

How long before thw 5000ththread?

This ain't no ALPA stache'. It's a pro stache' and ready to delve into 74 systems.

Thanks DC8 driver. I most def will not be by the phone forever. I do realize that my 7000 plus hours of RJ time will prob be at the bottom of list this round with all the World guys ect. It is nice to see things opening up. I have read all the threads and cant wait for the chance to be gone 17 plus days a month. Im all set I already have the first divorce out of the way with zero attachments. JK. Well not really anyway havent posted here and just wanted to say thanks for all the Atlas guys for the info and all the well deserved Atlas new hires for your gouge. Thanks

Don't think your 7k hours is sufficient? I wouldn't think that for one moment...Atlas is looking for a mixture of experience and backgrounds to fill their requirements. And as DC8 has said many times over here, they have succeeded in figuring out who they want. And it just might be you!!

Good luck.

Wow, of 7000 hours isn't sufficient, what chance do I stand with 3800 hours?
I've got to believe Atlas is just like everyone else, if you meet the mins, it comes down to personality and are you the right "fit" for the company.
