Yes. Lots. Atlas deadheads pilots all over the globe on company jets. More so on the 747's, but also on the 76's sometimes.
Other than not getting your freaky flier miles, it's a lot nicer than flying on the cattle cars in many ways. Usually.
Although, I have to say that it is not too unusual to end up on an Emirates A-380 or a Qatar A350 in Business Class from the Middle East coming home and I guess that's a little nicer than the upper deck of our old 744's...
