Atlas in my opinion is all about perspective. Is it Delta, FedEx, UPS..? No. Of course not. Will it be one day? Maybe, but highly unlikely.
Atlas is however world's better than almost any part 135, most regionals, and almost any other long-haul carrier such as Omni, Western Global, Kalitta, ABX, ...
So in the end, if you're coming from an easy job that paid you a ton to do hardly anything, or you think this is UPS or Delta for some reason.....you probably won't enjoy it here. Now if you came from a crappy freight company that worked you like a dog for pennies....you'll likely love it here. Perspective.

K4 is better than Atlas under the present CBA, less time away , more money, true home basing , no imputed income . Not hating on Giant , lots of amigos there , just stating facts , oh and the 767 pays the same as the 747.Cheers : )

As a regional FO with zero TPIC, I don't think I'd have a shot with K4. I'm currently at a regional with a flow to AA and am within ~10 months of upgrading. Not sure if it's better just to stay where I'm at.
