Every Capt. I’ve flown with with <2 years to go is retiring a millionaire so it’s not all bellyache and hardship.
The big hitters made $400k+ last year.

Anyone making $400K at Atlas worked a lot of overtime and worked the system heavily.

It is difficult to break $200K working a normal captain's schedule.

Either way there’s good money bring made there and cargo seems really stable at this time. If I get a call to interview and get offered I’ll work there based off the money. I’m just curious if the 17 on 13 off is the standard or are there other rotations. I flew for a legendary regional and the schedule didn’t offer blocks of on and off.

”legendary regional”? Oh boy! This should be good.

74 schedules can be bid on in either 30 or 60 day versions.
30 day lines tend to lean more to 17-13 although not exclusively.
60 day lines tend to be a little more broken up although not exclusively.
Reserve lines are generally 17 day blocks either beginning or end of the month.

^^THIS^^.

400K = an average of over 142 hours of credit each and every month at Max 747 CA pay. That same 74 senior CA - on a regular line holder schedule (one that doesn’t include whoring yourself out on days off, selling back vacation, never calling out sick, having very little QOL at home, etc) will be hard pressed to make half of that. And keep in mind that is for the highest paying a/c. The point is - you shouldn’t have to sell your soul & self-fund your retirement.

What's a legendary regional? Great Lakes?

Anyone familiar with the industry knows theres regionals, legacy regionals, and legendary regional (Skywest).

I am pretty sure a regional is a regional..... lol

PBA was a legendary regional. The original Mohawk, Ozark, Hughes Air West, Northeast, Lake Central, etc. etc. were legendary regionals. Everything in the last 25-30 years? Meh, totally interchangeable.
