Know before you go
This company, you better be tracking your pay. Because they will short you. Perdiem, hours, over guarantee? Doesnt matter they will short you. I've never worked for a company that would pull such nonsense.
On top of that minimal pay and or shorted pay. The company is going to hit you with imputed income in travel and hotels to and from work. So just when you thought you might bring home an ok check. You get hit with more taxes for all that travel to and from anchorage, our junior base you will be starting at.

It doesn't matter what airplane you are on you get 4.85 per day you are gone. Our contract is absolute horse ****

Rumor (believe it) is that over 100 more are in UPS and FedEx pools ...
Are Atlas applicants getting this message???

How much did your buddy claim he was imputed? ....because frankly the math doesn't work. Regardless, imputed income doesn't affect your pay until 3 months after the charges are incurred. Furthermore, a charge in a given month is divided into two parts across two pay periods.
I'm NOT defending Atlas. We have a paltry contract and crap working conditions but to claim that one would pay to work here is unethical.
The proof is in the putting and I will happily stand corrected with numbers that back up that claim, but until then its just blowing smoke.

As a new hire on the 747 you'll be based in ANC and the last guy up there when you clear OE. My buddy was living in the South and it was Summer - tourist season for ANC - where flying and hotels up there were scarce. He was junior and there for on Reserve. The lines he could hold only started out of base and were 60 day lines with a ton of commutes up there. So at that time 25 hours times $77 equals $1925. Then subtract healthcare, taxes, retirement and union dues and you're down to around $1250. Divide that times a tax rate of .25 (25%) and you get to $5000 in imputed income for the month. If you commute 3 times on a 60 day line in a month plus add hotels? Yeah... You get there.
