)The class of 10 is what's solid right now. The pool is pretty much empty, so the September interviews will fill it back up with about three dozen-ish swimmers. There's been talk that we might have another class or two this year, but it's dependent on landing some new business, so we'll have to wait and see.
As for the new year, tough to say. Retirements are good for a class or two a year, and the rumor mill always has a pile of 777s or 767s right around the corner. I hope they're right.

Is your position accurate? would you mind posting your times? I know Atlas doesn't select purely based on hours but it is interesting if you are an ATR FO. Most people commenting on this thread who have recently been called for interviews are Captains.
Congrats on your progress so far and good luck on your interview!

1. What do slots provide ?
2. what do flaps provide ?
3. Area to most avoid around a thunderstorm ?
4. If one altimeter fails while you are in RVSM what should you do?
5. Highest altitude you can fly without having to use oxygen when a crew member leaves the cockpit ?
6. How much protection are you getting when atc is giving you a MVA ?
7. Minimum altitude for IFR operations ?
8. What will provide you the best braking on a wet runway ?
9. What does NOSIG mean on a Zurich TAF ?
10.When are outboard ailerons used ?
11.when is the lowest temp in a 24hr period ?
12.what can you use to sub for a middle marker ?
13.what happens to VMCG when you have a engine failure?
14.What speed is normally VMCG? options are above V1 , Below V1 and a couple others
15.When would you go missed on a ILS provided everything was working ?
16.Where is the Jetstream normally located ?
17.what is the effect of coriolis force in the southern hemisphere ?
18.You go missed on the JFK 31L what altitude would you stop at if ATC says pilots discretion.
19.Symbol for MDT turbulence.
20.Symbol for Severe turbulence.
21.If you go missed on a ILS I think the JFK31L again what would be your first altitude to level off ?
22.At FL410 you need to get down to 11,000 at camren and you are doing 540kts, where would you start going down ?
23.At FL310 same question as above without the speed in the question.
24.Another on the same chart this time was FL310 to 11,000 with different answers, seemed weird to me.
25.There were also 4 questions on weather in Zurich a couple about visibility and a couple about winds during different time periods.
Hope this helps some of you !!

- international notams- know how to read them
- a couple jet stream questions ( location, turbulence etc)
- winglets
- pressure vs true altitude
- visual illusion ( rain on windshield, flying through fog, etc)
- SLOP
- extended over water operation emergency equip. Requirements
- which millibar graph for winds aloft
- asos vs awos
- CAT II lighting, VIS, and equipment requirements.
I'd be familiar with all these topics and HIGHLY recommend having a searchable ATP question bank nearby
Good luck, you'll need it!
