No, they don’t do the exact same job.

They aren’t dealing with constant schedule changes, they have trip trades and drops, they have more days off per month, they have better retirement, they know what they are doing and where they are sleeping each night they are gone, they don’t fly into hostile areas with broken planes with no support from the Company, they aren’t lied to by their company, they aren’t being sued (twice) by their company....

And that’s just the start of the list of differences between FX/UPS and Atlas. You do more work, for more days, to more places, for more than 70% less in total compensation than FX/UPS.
