Any New Hires at Atlas Air?

 

[Classicdriver]

A class of 10 or 12 for the -400, start on April 26th, more to come. Maybe, even a newhire class for the "Classic", in early Summer.

Any info on the next round of interviews? Is Atlas going to start a pool again?

 

[Broncopilot943]

Anybody at Atlas know what kind of conversion factor they apply to military time? Also, are they pretty firm with the 3500 TT and 1000 PIC turbine requirements posted on their website? Im sitting at about 2500 TT and 600 PIC jet...I guess it wouldn't hurt to apply

 

[Wankel7]

Is it 1000 Jet PIC or 1000 turbine pic?

 

[Broncopilot943]

It says "1000 hours turbine jet PIC" on their website

I hear 5 got a call from Atlas for a may 26 class.Evergreen will lose 10-12 before this is over,maybe more. 747-200/400 time will get you a interview.

Don't think there is a conversion factor per se but I have seen flexibility with the military guys.

It just says 2500hrs TT 1000 hours turbine time. Nothing about PIC.

Hi!

Like the guy said...1000 jet turbine PIC. Also a jun class planned. I think the conversion factor was 1.3. I think it is a fantastic job.

Looks like Atlas dropped the 1000 turbine PIC. This is the first hiring with the new regime.

The rumor is that the VP of Ops was not happy with the overall results of the interviews. Not knocking the interviewees, just the process they and others went thru and the quals of the final result. It was run by bean counters/HR types and he is an ops kind of guy. The Ops people got the remaining resumes after a lot of filtering, maybe that will change.

As many have pointed out here and elsewhere, 1000 turbine PIC eliminated a lot of good and experienced people. There are typed folks out there with a few thousands hours in the classic and -400 that don't have the 1000 PIC. Maybe it was worth a shot, with the market like it is, but and the results may not have been what they wanted.

I'm surprised the window is still open. Good luck!

You are dead on about Very high time getting hired today. Just got out of class with a similar operation and everbody in the the had LOTS of heavy iron time. The best part No regional guys are getting hired.

Talking to one of the newhires, two are from Evergreen, neither on the LCF, three former ATA, one just out of the USAF, and one retread, returning after a two year break for family. The class is nine and a new instructor will be joining them on Monday.
