Could someone please PM me the email address to send in a resume to the Polar recruitment office? My computer won't open the link that they have on their web sight.

Thanks a bunch,

Stillflyn
 
Atlas and Polar are merging. All of the hiring is done through the same personnel department at Atlas Air. Try the Atlas web site.
 
Then you applied to Polar. Those hired are placed into a common pool. Where we all just become one big happy family; like the Manson's.:)
 
Atlas is "planning" on more than 75 newhires this year.

The two classics that Tradewinds returned are returning to service and Atlas is working on two more -400's. Stayed tuned.

Base bid is coming soon, talking about 20 new captains.
 
Hi!

If you click on the email link on the Polar hiring page, it is the Atlas hiring email that is shown.

They just interviewed, for a pool. They don't know when their next class is, or when their next interview group is.

I have heard that they are not interviewing again until the Fall and that will be for 2009 classes. This information is about 1 week old and I believe it to be pretty accurate.
 
Is Atlas firm on the 1000 turbine PIC requirement?

The CP sent out a company email a few months back addressing the issue of recommending new pilots. It essentially said that if your pilot didn't meet the minimum requirements, don't bother. With that being said, I do know people who have been hired in the past that did not have the turbine PIC.

Six months ago I don't think it would have been a big issue it the rest of your time had been good but with the market today it is.

On a foot note, I recommended a friend (that did meet the requirements) that got hired. According to him 100% of the applicants in his interview class had internal recommendations.

Good luck to all.
 
Looking for a any crew that worked at Fine Air or Arrow Air between 1998 to 2002 when I was there and who is now at Atlas/Polar.

I need a rec. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I am sure there are tons of overqualified pilots on the street looking to get on with Atlas, but it wont hurt to send a resume and get something on file. Fingers crossed!
 
If your in the pool, you may end up on the classic. With the two classics returning from Tradewinds, the plan is for two classes of newhires for the classic.

Not sure of the rules for bypassing an offer if you want the -400 type.
 
I don't think I would bypass the offer just for a 400 type because they will tell you that an offer for a class is not an offer of employment. If you ask for a bypass, I think they will bypass you for good, unless you have a solid "in" with the company.
 
Atlas Bases

From a much earlier post on another site I found that among the Atlas crew bases JFK was mostly a paper base from which crews position, MIA was mostly standby, ANC was mostly out and back trips and Stanstead was much better now that you don't have to get there via jumpseat any more. There was no info about LAX, however. What sort of flying is done out of LAX?

Just gathering info while cooling my heels in the pool. :)

just a quick question for those in the Atlas/Polar pool. What was the length of time between submitting your resume and getting a call for an interview?

Be advised, that HR chick is a cast iron bit*h!! Apparently it's the end of the world if you're offered an Atlas class, but politely ask if it's ok if you wait for an available Polar class since you live in Chicago. I don't see how or why an HR chick should have the final say as to whether you are hired as a pilot or not, considering they are clueless about the position. They are merely there to weed out the folks who they think may reject the company kool-aid and actually have there own opinions!!
 
That would be a long wait! The ORD base may just go away and turn into ANC. Good luck with your job search.
 
Hi

I know the person in charge of hiring at USA Jet and NJA both have a major input into who is hired. I assume it's the same at Atlas, and at every where else. I wouldn't do anything intentionally to piss off the person in charge of hiring.

If I could tell that the organization was not for me, I'd politely inform the person in charge of hiring that I was no longer interested in the position. Also, if I was leaving an organization I'd leave on good terms and thank them for hiring me.

The hiring guys/gals are pretty tight-knit, and pissing off one of the hiring people may lead to not getting an interview or job offer from some other organization.

God Bless!

So, did you get the job or were you ultimately turned down due to your Polar request? Are they forcing you to take the Atlas slot instead? What was the result of your request?

Personally, I would not have made the request unless that was an option presented during the interview process. Good jobs are a bit scarce these days and the HR people know it...
 
Would anyone at Atlas be willing to help me track down an old co-worker who went to Atlas a few years back?

Thanks

I'll be damn*d if I am going to kowtow to these HR punks!! They wouldn't know the difference between an Airbus and a Boeing if you spent all day explaining it to them. They think we are supposed to fall all over ourselves like a bunch of subservient buffoons for these jobs? I have too much self respect to do that. At one time it may have been worth it, now with these joke wages and schedules, hardly!!

Me too. Nice post.
 
Thanks! All this BS needs to come to a head, and soon. We are going to stand united or fall divided, but one way or another, it's been high time to make a stand. Sorry to have semi hijacked the thread.

What was the result? Have you heard back from them? For someone who is a bit unfamiliar, why request Polar when Atlas and Polar will be merged anyway in the future? Was it purely the domicile issue (ORD vs. Atlas choices) or was there other reasoning?

Good luck!
