Do you think it will help?

I also know of at least 3 poolies from my interview date in April; my estimate was about a dozen swimmers total (completely unscientific SWAG).

If there's a class of 10 starting 7 October as rumored here, then that's why they had interviews in September -- a dozen in the pool may not be enough to fill the class of 10.

I also heard that things seemed to go well and 2/3 (roughly) of the guys should be hired.

Hope I'm one of em!

I should follow that up.

I interviewed on Wednesday. Can't say enough about how great all the folks down in Miami are. It was so refreshing to finally have a shot at a place that does things the right way. The treat their people right, they run a tight ship, and they are growing. Even if I'm not selected it was great just to see the operation and have first hand proof that places like this do exist in our industry.

The gouges posted here are mostly still valid, the process is still the same, they've changed some questions but really if you make it to the interview they're looking for personality and the right fit, it seemed like the technical stuff, etc was just a formality.... If you do your due diligence on the company research and you studied enough to pass the online test (definitely the toughest part of the process, and 80% of the questions have changed), you'll be fine for the interview, just be yourself.

Atlas has a really bright future, and here's to hoping I, and the other guys who went thru this round, get to be a part of it.

The 777 LOA has been signed and is posted. There are two more MOUs coming that will detail some of the things the union was able to get in return. Seniority bidding on training assignments and a move toward trip trades, either with AIMS or another platform if that doesn't work out. As with the 767, hiring priority given to 1224 guys with 777 experience. No airplanes yet, though.

Good luck to all those who interviewed this week, lots of great and highly qualified folks. Hopefully the pool is large and we all make it!
I was part of the group that interviewed this week as well. I agree with rmr1992; everyone was friendly and positive and went to great lengths to make us feel at ease and welcome. All the information in this thread was most helpful. I wish everyone the best of luck and hope that we are all colleagues soon!
