Is the 73 a money maker? No. A time building fleet? No. Is Atlas or any other ACMI company in general an ideal job for someone that loves "home time"? I don't think so, but it also depends since you'll enjoy longer blocks of days off with your family.
Other jobs out there will offer more family time or at least on a more regular basis.
But as per usual, there are pros/cons and it depends on each person.
As a reference, I left on December 8th and I'll be back on the 23rd, pretty standard.
I made an assumption that this guy probably has a young family at home and being gone for 15-17 days simply does not work well in that scenario. Heck, even my dog does not like it when I am on a 4-day trip. Then again, YMMV.
