Atlas Hiring

[Classicdriver]

It looks like, for the time being, they will run a -400 class every three weeks. A 16 Apr. class is set up with transition guys, from the classic. These are guys that need the whole 7 weeks of training. If they did some interviews during the first week of April, then got them into indoc on the second week, then they could be added to the 16 Apr. class. That would be the best case scenario. In the past, they have offered classes to guys that interviewed on Thursday, to start on the next Monday.

As I've said elsewhere, the latest base bid shows 16 slots available for new hires. Seven in HSV, and 9 in JFK.

Any new hires going to the 747-200?

 

[Classicdriver]

For the time being, no. According to the base bid, all -400.

Any of you that may not seem to qualify over this turbine-prop vs. turbine jet req. you can always apply to "Connie", we may be hiring this year and do not have this requirement I believe.

Thanks Classicdriver for all the good info you are providing. How senior is MIA as a Base?

 

[Classicdriver]

Pretty junior, the bottom 5 guys are returning from furlough.

As long as a base doesn't show up near Missoula, MT I am in good shape!

Gawd... I was there last night on a DL layover and always LOVE it! Im a BOI commuter and love the IM West! Though, I realize, I need a real job like Atlas to maximize my time in the IM West.....Please call, Ive been trying since 2006!!!!!

I'm guessing they're holding firm on the minimums? I'm one of those NJA furloughed types that got hired there with no turbine PIC. Seems like a made a bad move.
