If you had a completely non-flying staff position in past 10 years, report it as a break in flying on that question. If it was "flying staff" where you attached to a flying unit and maintained a qual, then no break should be reported.

Only hr knows the answer to this question...they don't tell us.

...all 747s are getting a flight attendant in the near future just for this reason. Apparently this will save us from searching through all the galley boxes on the -8.

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me where to find the pool with questions for the test and also, if studying the ATP manual would be enough to be prepare?

It's all here in the thread, here is a repost/copy of an old message which indexes the thread, I think it's msg #5381 from last March. Yes, studying the ATP question bank would help. My test had questions straight out of that bank.

No opinion. I guess what I was trying to say was it doesn't have a place as far as resume/PAQ submission, that's been pretty much confirmed. However, at something like a job fair it's really not a bad thing to show up with it. Five minutes? That's almost generous. I went to some where it was 3-45 seconds of facetime on average, with waiting 2+ hours in line.

But alas, I understand no one has time to read 1000 cover letters anymore. It's a shame, it'd be really easy to weed out 50% of applicants on grammar and spelling alone. This thread is a testament to that.
No opinion either way. But as mentioned, I'm guessing EVERYTHING from the phone screen to the multiphase interview takes care of that. To include the hand writing test portion of the interview.

Thanks for the clarification.

Living in base is a different dynamic and as such the interaction with travel is normally limited to mid/end of pattern travel.

Having just taken it I would say you should probably study North Atlantic operations and detailed weather theory and symbology as well.

Latest I heard this week at Crystal Place was that at least 25 have left for greener pastures!! Should open up some spots for hiring.

Union says it was 14 over the past year. About the historical average. It should pick up, but it's not like some of the regionals where they're losing 25-30 guys a month.

For those interested, it is official, Atlas is now a booth holder at the WIAI conference, they are booth number 435. Come visit and say hello!
