In defense of whichever recruiter posted here, I am actually pretty happy at Atlas. The "Atlas Strong" slogan isn't new, so they are just trying to roll a pre-existing nugget into a recruiting effort. Using that slogan probably makes somebody's boss somewhere happy. They are trying to do their jobs with the resources available to them, and they're not being dishonest about it.
At Atlas you can show up, fly and go home. We have done pretty well keeping the job centered on requirements in the field. This, in large part, is a result of having well-seasoned flight ops managers and chiefs. If you have trouble you can resolve issues. You can choose your own level of involvement based on your life's circumstances. We can be a stepping stone or a capstone in your career, depending what you want.

"With Amerijet’s new contract, their minimum monthly guarantee will be increased to approximately 80 hours a month (13 bid periods at 74 hours per each bid period). Conversely, at Atlas Air, our minimum monthly guarantee is just 64 hours a month.
An Amerijet B767 Captain at maximum pay on minimum monthly guarantee would earn $290,370 a year. Conversely, an Atlas Air B-767 Captain at maximum pay on minimum monthly guarantee would earn $221,937 a year.
A second year Amerijet B767 First Officer on minimum monthly guarantee would earn $126,984 a year. Conversely, an Atlas Air second year B-767 First Officer on minimum monthly guarantee would earn $97,244 a year.
It is important to note, minimum monthly guarantee is also tied to the value of a sick day, vacation day, and a training day."

True! From the union update yesterday:

Cutting through the crud, you are guaranteed to make more money at Amerijet. That's a fact in the short (2-3 year) term.

From that same email, their lack of amalgamation protection is described as a "major" drawback by our eboard. Considering our contract was significantly delayed for this very issue, and it was cited in many union emails, I feel like we're being a little less than straight with our fellow pilots if we fail to mention this. Pilots get misinformation from recruiters, and we can rememeber some bizarre compensation numbers that were passed out not long ago. Pilots also get misinformed by individuals who think they are helping our cause by trying to scare off potential hires.
