3: what aircraft/base would be best for a Boise ID commuter?
4: if you still work at Atlas what is keeping you there? What are the positives, most of these threads go pretty negative so what positive things keep you at Atlas?
Thanks for your time
I'm currently a 747 FO on 3rd year pay. Last year I grossed $85000. 767 pilots get 16% less than 747 pilots. Atlas will pay to get you to your base or your aircraft pickup location. The caveat is that they will get you there way early so you have proper rest, you aren't paid until the trip starts, and the cost of the flight and hotel in base are treated as imputed income so approximately 30% of what the company paid for travel and hotel will be taken out of your paycheck as taxes. LAX or PAE would probably be closest for a Boise commuter. Not sure what nonstops you have out of there. Only thing keeping me here right now is that FedEx hasn't offered to interview me.
