The past year: For me, it has gotten better. Less problems with hotels, ground transport and scheduling. I just asked for and got alternate travel to start my next trip, no problem. I am on the 74, which, for most pilots, is better than the 76.
Atlas IS the best airline, for certain people, and it is totally unacceptable for others...it depends on what is important to you. It is good that a number of pilots are presenting differing opinions on Atlas, which gives potential new hires more information to decide about Atlas.
We lowered our minimums, recently, the fourth time in 4 years w have done that, so it is obviously harder and harder for Atlas to get the numbers they are looking for, which is good news for negotiating our next contract.
If u r thinking of coming here, read up and make an informed decision.
