I can speak with personal experience about the hiring process at Atlas. The HR folks are very efficient and present in most of the Interview stages; but they use a number of retired and line pilots in the process; and they are highly experienced and very involved. I cannot imagine Atlas HR overruling a pilots' concerns about a candidates capabilities. The interview process there is very well run indeed.
