74 is definitely the most diverse platform we have and leaps and bounds beyond any other outfit. Legs, types, usage rates, customers and sheer numbers will gather no moss, always rolling. A few cookie cutter runs/patterns/regions served depending upon base but for the most part Giant, Qantas, Polar/DHL, AMC, LCF, Charters, Purple, Brown, etc., it does make for an interesting animal. I get bored easily so destinations/locations do not disappoint. Once again, sometimes basing does stovepipe you a bit.

And there seems to be a lot of overselling people on this greater than 48 hours in base due to heavy rest. I have had that exactly 1 time in 9 years. Scheduling is very aware of it and will usually change the pattern to avoid those layovers in base. I was just extended out to 20 days involuntarily on my last mid pattern block of 17 days on a two month line. That is much more what people should expect if they decide to come here.

Gateway travel
With gateway travel does it really matter what base you are in anymore besides the obvious when you want to live in base? I mean in the regionals you commute standby so basing is a big deal and there is a.ways the panic about getting on board etc however at Atlas it seems with a positive space seat and hotel taken care off it does not matter anymore unless there is something I am missing.

Remember that Gateway is on your days off. Yes, much less stressful than begging for a ride. But Atlas will want you in base with time to get rest before the official start time of your line. If you live in SEA going to ANC for an evening departure you might be able to go up that morning. If you live in BNA it’ll take all of the previous day to get up there.
