I believe for the "average" US pilot, especially if they are age 40 or below, DAL/AA/UAL is better than Atlas.

That being said, here are some examples of "attack mode" I have experienced lately:

Scheduled for 24/7 (day off) where I didn't want to be, followed by business class airline seat and very short time in a second location before a trip. I called scheduling and asked to fly in about 12 hours to the second location, with a 24/7 in the there, instead. Scheduling said no problem and changed everything.

After a trip was postponed, the captain I was with called hotels and asked them to change my hotel to the hotel where the rest of the crew was staying...hotels made the reservation.

I called travel and asked them to fly from my Gateway on DAL on a specific flight. They booked asked if I wanted an aisle or a window seat, and booked it immediately.

Of course, things don't always go your way, and sometimes the company screws up, usually with ground transportation or hotels...they aren't perfect. For example, I was recently with a Capt and they forgot our ground transport in FRA. We got a hold of them, and they told us to just take a cab and charge it to the company credit card. We got a cab and away we went, problem solved quickly.

For many of us Atlas is a good job. With the new contract it will be better. How much? We don't know. If it is a lot better, then more guys will want to come here and will stay. If it is a little better, then less guys will want to come here and more will leave.

Good luck to you, God Bless, and namaste.
