In other words...you are asking for specifics where there are none. If you are looking for a schedule that will not change and guarantees you that you WILL be home as published...Atlas is NOT for you.

We need more icons...

My award for the first part of September was a DH to LAX (from JFK) and a freighter rim trip. Before I left the house that all went away and I ended up going to Ft. Campbell and flying five PAX legs to Bishkek and back followed by couple domestic ferry legs.

I know what day I'm going to work. I know when I should be home. In between I just go where they tell me.

As for flying, it's Atlas... stand by for schedule changes, unless you're on one of the DHL trips, and they rarely change. Most of my trips seem to be in the "Bamboo Triangle" (DXB-HKG-PVG), but there are plenty of other layovers and if you get picked off your trip in DXB, you can easily find yourself in Europe or Africa. After all, flexibility is the key to Air.... oh wait that was a former life. Good luck!

These guys aren't lying when they say most of the info has been covered already. Some may be dated, but it'll get you started at least.
I am up to about pg 250, still reading, and FFwd-ing to current pgs to see what is new.

Thanks for the input. Seems like the bases really vary, whether you start-end there, or DH elsewhere. Once I'm on the road, I don't care what happens to my schedule, but it's important to me to know what will be involved with getting there on day 1.

Thanks for your feedback, and thanks to all that keep the information flowing on this thread. It's what really makes me want to be a part of Atlas
