Thanks for going out of your way das, I hit three pilot shops in Miami a month back and no dice.

Nah, I'm at home... I used to have an old copy of one somewhere around here, but I'll find the pics I took.

You'd better get back to work. I got kids to feed!

Yeah, but I've got beer to drink. Priorities...

Awesome guys. Hopefully we'll meet up at NJC. I'll wear my clothes if required.

Standard stuff, real low key. A little personal history, a little of why Atlas, a little why you at Atlas, etc…. It is low key, but it is important…..so don't take it lightly. Know a little about the company and why you want to work there. Know their recent past, their immediate future, a little about their financials, their aircraft, their business model/ plan. All standard stuff for any job you want…..not just aviation.

DON'T call from the airport, while you're waiting for your next flight. DON'T do the call if you're looking after a toddler, or a crying baby, or a pet that's crawling all over you. DON'T say things you think they want to hear.

DO have a quiet area and be prepared when you make/ take the call. DO be friendly, sincere, and personable. DO give them YOUR answers to their questions, not canned answers.

Good luck!

You have a base. They buy you a ticket from an airport close to you, your gateway, to your base. This time spent is not considered work or duty


Yes you are free to move somewhere nicer. ;-)

I think I read somewhere that those airline tickets and hotel rooms are considered income, and are thus taxed. Is that still the case?

Can you earn miles for those tickets?

Question 1: True, with caveats

Question 2: yes

No, unless they heaved the wheel again. 1/2 of the SIM instructors were reduced this month.

buddy of mine is almost done with 747 sim...hired about 2 months ago

he is current AF reserves KC135 (was a nav in the Active AF)

no idea on hiring but he is only 29 and had some connections there.

The last vacancy award (posted 10/15) showed 25 new-hires. 15 ANC 747, 10 CVG 767. Not sure when they plan to fill them, and I'm almost positive there are enough people in the pool to fill them currently. If another award posts this month, it'll come out in a couple days. I'll keep an eye out.
