rates per Airline pilot careers

Lastly, the biggest drawback I’ve heard about Atlas is
they has/had crazy long trips. Please someone update me if this is no longer true. When I looked into Atlas ~2013, they had 20+ day trips that could be extended over 30 days. That’s too long out to have a life at home, and to me made Atlas impossible to work for.
My March has a 5 day trip and a 9 day trip. 89 hour credit. My April is a 4 day trip and a 10 day trip for 74 hours.
Things are vastly different at Atlas now than in 2013.
