I got the letter today. It’s positive. How about you?
I got mine as well and it's good news!
I have a competing offer at ATI as well (Good and bad problem to have I guess). My only problem with Atlas is I don't have a class date and I don't have a fleet assignment while at ATI I do. I'm going to make my decision soon but I am seriously thinking hard on this.

I'm biased, obviously. I'll say one of those companies has a scope agreement that covers all its pilots, and the other has three agreements that cover three pilot groups with the implicit threat of reverse pattern bargaining every contract cycle.

If it makes you feel better, at the end of last year I had both as well. I’ve never looked back since joining Atlas!
Home Basing is nice, but depending on where one lives and where they are base and the pattern start end times one could easily commute on Day 1 and Day 17 of the pattern.
While I was at Atlas, as soon as I got out of ANC and based down to JFK or ORD, it was easy for me to commute on Day 1 and Day 17.
While I will say, home basing would have been nice. It is not the issue that was driving pilot attrition.

Atlas will fly you to where your trip begins (on your time) and give you a hotel once you get there so you get required rest. Then they will fly you home when your trip is complete (and give you a hotel, again if a flight isn't available that night). They will also provide a hotel while you sit reserve. I don't know any 121 operator that does that. This kind of stuff is what keeps guys at Atlas even when the big 5 are hiring. I've got buddies who hated life as a commuter at the "big" airlines. Easy peasy at Atlas.
