Try this: Take all the airline contracts out there and line them up side-by-side ranked by pay. Then factor in work rules (all of 'em), work conditions (all of 'em), and career potential (healthy dose of reality, please) and see where your contract falls.
My previous job had great pay (really great pay) and work rules. Then I was furloughed along with about 400 other guys.
In the grand scheme of airline pilot contracts - worldwide - I'm pretty sure the Atlas contract moves from middle-upper half to upper-upper half.
