This is a charter operation. You bid for a day off footprint in 30 or 60 day blocks. The schedule here is way more predictable than the world I came from which was on call 365 24/7. I think it's fine and allows me a far better quality of life. Then you have those who get butt hurt when their 52 hour layover in Sydney gets replaced with something totally different.
Atlas is not a scheduled airline, it is and will always be a charter operation. I knew that coming in, but I think some people are surprised by that fact every day.
