The first 6,7,8 or 9 months of your stint at Atlas will be one.

Can’t tell ya what works for you/the family. If you’re getting closer to the top of the pay scale where you’re at the juice is probably worth the squeeze. If you’re close to upgrade there probably not.

From a purely qualitative, absolutely doesn’t pay the bills standpoint, I don’t know where else you can find the variety we have here.

Other assumption is 17 days away from base not having layover in the US, though unlikely it won't influence to total amount that much)

So for the 747 which is the highest hourly paid fleet you'd already reach your target of 9k a month after tax without any over time after 12 months.


First year During training 94,76 (Hourly) x 64(hours) = 6064,64(gross salary) x 0.7(tax) = 4245,25 + 30(days) x 24(hours) x2.85(dollar per day) = 6297,25 after tax
First year (assuming normal year 1 salary after training) 120.51 x 82.5 = 9942,07 x 0.7 = 6959,45 + 17 x 24 x 3.5 = 8387,45 after tax
Second year 137,10 x 82.5 = 11310,75 x 0.7 = 7917,52 + 17 x 24 x 3.5 = 9345,52 after tax

Hope it helps, other can chime in how much a 4 day overtime trip on the 747 gets you cause that i don t know

Edit: This is just ment to give a ball park and that you can get to your target a lot faster then you might think

If you have a 17 day block and start the middle of day one and finish the middle of day 17 you would get 16x4.85 which is 77.6 hours pay. If you are on a 2 month line you’ll be in the low 70s or high 60s because 6 days were not full 24 hour days for pay purposes. On the other hand, the extra day pay does not require you to be out a full 24 hours into your scheduled day off.
