Any New Hires at Atlas Air?

RJ guys rock.........by far the best situational awareness and RT discipline. Getting used to the inertia of a heavy takes no time at all.

RJ guys do rock, I was once a RJ Driver too.

Let's not forget...


Some of the RJ Drivers around the country used to do the 121 Supplemental stuff. Hand flying AR routes with /A equipment into places like Haiti and Cuba prior to flying the shinny "barbie jet". Does that make an RJ Driver LESS OF A PROFESSIONAL PILOT?

I used to be an RJ and turboprop driver for Eagle before I flew 747s. I performed to the same level if not better than the others in my class. Regional pilots are no different than any other pilots out there.
Trust me!! This BS of military pilots being better is simply not true. I have seen all types, some are better than others. Its personal discipline and professionalism that makes the pilot.

In military aviation jargon, a "shack" refers to a successful, direct hit on a ground target.

I am just pointing out that flying for a non sched/ACMI is a ballbreaker. Where I work, every new guy that I see that is from a regional thinks he is the bee's knees. It just ain't so. They are always very humbled by their first trip.

And my comment about not being a real pilot was totally taken out of context. Regional guys go from Gate A from city ABC to gate B in city XYZ. Flying for a non sched isn't like that at all- some new guys get freaked out when they have to find a place to park, after landing at a foreign airport and shooting a ILS that they have never flown before. That's all.

Don't try to back peddle little man. You are spouting off like an arrogant prick. Shut the F up.

Hi!

All this talk of more hires for Atlas is depressing. I am almost always positive and upbeat, but the Atlas thing was hard to take. It took me a lot of years, time, and effort to get qualified for, and invited to the Atlas interview. I spent a TON of money and effort getting to the interview.

It seemed to me that, for whatever reason, the guy leading my panel interview was dead set against me coming to Atlas. Why, I have no idea! I did the best I could at the interview, but it was not good enough. I am really bummed.

For all you guys getting interviews, and waiting to hear, good luck! I think Atlas is one of the very best aviation jobs out there, and I would have been set for life. Too bad for me! I am picking up the pieces, and working again to get an interview at a career company.
