While I was at Atlas, as soon as I got out of ANC and based down to JFK or ORD, it was easy for me to commute on Day 1 and Day 17.
While I will say, home basing would have been nice. It is not the issue that was driving pilot attrition.
Does Atlas not fly you to/from home on the first/last day of your trip?
