Scheduled service, ad-hoc operations, specific customer requirements (last minute or delay requests), long term/short term contracts, military, passenger charters, bands/equipment, race teams, consortiums, sports teams (MLB, NFL, whatever), flowers, phones, laptops, lobsters, salmon, horses, livestock, pharmaceuticals, etc., etc., etc... the list is mind numbing as well as bigger entities such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, Amazon, Alibaba, Qantas, Asian carriers, mail, etc., more and more mind numbing. Still baffles me what shows up at times to the aircraft.

The point: Perhaps it's a greater perspective beyond just pax terminals or cargo bays, domestic and international ops, military support and beyond to include those we fly with from all areas of aviation hailing from all regions of the world. It is truly an opportunity to experience some unique insight, opportunities and various cultural aspects and mindsets beyond the melting pot. As many have said before Atlas casts a wide net and it truly has global reach.

Just me, but supporting MotoGP is pretty cool as a fan. Trying to find the right trip again or fall into it to catch a race is a bucket list repeat threepeat, etc. for me. Nothing is perfect of course, but for many of us this is the best it can get depending on who you are, etc. different strokes folks.
