I applied almost a year ago, and just got an e-mail today to take the online test. I replied saying thanks, but I am gainfully employed elsewhere. Good luck to all of you pursuing Atlas.

Mine came in this morning. I had applied about 3 years ago for the first time and updated regularly. I have international ACMI time and 5000 TT.

Other than the airplanes coming back to us, and the jobs that it creates (upgrades and new hires), I'm not at all glad to see this happening...and we'll see how this plays out over the next few months.

I'm thinking that some or all of these will be replacement planes for our older and less reliable 744's. The reliability, fuel, and maintenance savings from Boeing may be enough to offset the higher price of the -8's.

Quick recap on study topics:
Decode metar and TAF
Airport lighting
International notams
Prog chart symbols such as turbulence and wind speed
ILS mins cat 1-3
Rvsm requirements
Definition of a hurricane

Just some I remember! Good luck and welcome aboard!

Also just so I got my rumors straight, we are buying Delta and fencing the 747's for Atlas pilots only right?

Of course, and at Delta rates.

Hey just passed the online assessment! Thanks to everyone on here that has provided information and help. Being that there were 100 questions in 60 minutes it was VERY rushed. I finished and had time to review 2 questions before it cut me off. There were more questions on weather theory than previous people had mentioned. I studied "Ace the Technical Pilot Interview" and I would say that's an excellent guide for studying. There really isn't time during the test to look anything up, and they only give you a few days to take the test, so I would definitely be studied up if you're hoping to get an invitation to take it. Thanks again everyone!
