Word on the street is the "Poolies" will have to resubmit resume for an opportunity to re-interview. Recalled furloughed pilots start in the next couple of weeks.
Good luck!

Incredible. Now you need 1000 turbine jet PIC to be an fo..............

As it always should have been for equipment/missions of this scope!!!!!!

Does anybody know if you receive a confirmation e-mail from Atlas telling you they received your information? I have found that some places do and some don't. It is usually just an automated do not reply type e-mail but I have not received any type of confirmation from them. I am trying to avoid looking like an complete idiot parked next to the phone only to find out they never received my info.

Because 1000 hours in a Barbie jet will get you ready for this job compared to 1000 in a TP.

Hey Talon,

You ever hear anything about the pool? I was in it too. Interview date: April 1, 2008.

By the way, I'm not C-Lo...just on here through his log in

 

[Talon757]

The pool as such is no more. It's unclear what that means precisely, though. The names of the pool swimmers are still in the system. I think if you receive a call you'll have to head to MIA once more and reintroduce yourself. Possibly no sim involved but the company leadership in Ops has changed and they will want to get to know you before offering a class date. This is all pretty much conjecture. Maybe by this time next week I can provide more concrete info.

"God willing and the creek don't rise..."

Talon - I broke down yesterday and opened my own account. hehe I was the one who posted the reply prior to your last under "C-LO".

Who knows, maybe this time next week, we'll both be sitting in an interview group together! If not, good luck! And yeah, the whole pool thing being disbanded is kinda what I heard too...oh well. We did it once, we can do it again!

You know...I don't remember ever receiving any confirmation...just a phone call...which is the best kind of confirmation!!

It sounds like the interviews for former swimmers will be on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of April. See you there!

Good luck to you all!

Latest base bid is out. Looks like 16 newhires, 7 in HSV, and 9 in JFK, both on the -400.

Movement

There will also be six furloughed FE'S upgrading to -200 FO mixing in with the new hires.

 

[dugan jones]

any idea how many guys were in the pool and has any non pool people been called for interviews? my buddy over there said down in miami they mention there would be 20-30 total new hires.

 

[fokkers&beer]

I guess, not many type rated 747 dudes out there without the PIC. The only example I can think of would be the UA new hire back in the late 90s that went straight to the 744. But were they even type rated?

I'm proud to say I'm NOT a United guy, yet I have no Jet PIC. Somehow I managed to pick up a few thousand hours of T-Prop PIC and lots of SIC heavy jet time including a type and time in the 400.
I guess that makes a guy flying an RJ more qualified than me, but I'm the one soon to be on the street from the last job I'll ever have.

Join the club!

There are usair pilots with multiple type ratings and 20+ years all in the right seat; they passed on the upgrade for various lifestyle reasons during that brief window in 99-2000 when they could have held the left seat.

It happens.
