5. 5. (May 23, 2024) Which airplane would you like?
• This seems to be pretty important. I think a lot of folks believe Atlas won’t try and give you your choice. But i think they do their best, so do your research as well as ask about the different lifestyles on each fleet. Because from what i can tell, each fleet fits a different individual.
• Be sure to answer this question honestly. They are looking for a real answer not "whatever Atlas wants me to fly". They asked me to rank my top two and I said 747 and 767, by the end of the interview they asked me again to confirm my selection and I asked to switch to the 767 then the 747. They offered me the 767. They actually do want to know that you have a preference.
