Second, Atlas is not an Airline, it’s a transportation company that uses airplanes.
Atlas does not decide where they go and when, the customers do.
If the customer wants the flight delayed or cancelled, guess what…you’re not going.
Contracts come and go, sometimes unexpected.
HSV was the base with Africa flying till they weren’t. HOU was the base with the Angola sugar runs, till they weren’t.

Why so grumpy? Got knocked back from United for not having a personality? Let me guess, so now you're working at Atlas, hating life (and yourself because you failed the personality test for the majors) and so you get online to berate people for asking a simple question? You're a legend mate, takes special skills to simultaneously pointing out the obvious while being a complete wanker!

I didn't read his post as a negative. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of pilots who think those things are positive. Myself included.

I'd say not only Atlas but any airline really. Bases come and go....same thing happens with the routes. On my fleet destinations change every couple of months, most of them anyways. We used to fly to TPA, a lot, now other fleet and other airline does it.

Wanker was misdirected mate, or did I get that assumption wrong. Apologies if so but TS is not a Clown.

I understand the company and how they operate, I just wanted to ask if anyone knew roughly how often they head down under.
