I really liked the idea of flying for Atlas, but after reading the last couple of pages, I am doubtful. I already have a CJO.
So all in all, coming to Atlas for many is to get to fly the 747? Or the lifestyle? Regional Captain make similar pay as 747 FO it seems!
I fly 747 now and get 10 days off in a row in a month and make 100K net a year (after taxes), will make 112K after a year. Schedule isn't too bad and get free first class commute anywhere on the airline. Maybe will get to fly the 787 or 777 or ATR captain with same pay in two years time. But the airline(line pilots) is so picky, that it sucks the fun out of flying. The only reason I am thinking of a change.
Should I stay away from Atlas? And look elsewhere? Any suggestions. I am thinking of moving back and live in Tampa and maybe get MIA later down the road. Chances of upgrade within 2-3 years (hypothetically)??
