Is there a chance the MEM base will ever return? I'm a CFI in Memphis and was banking on hopefully flying for Atlas within the next five years on the 747.

1. They will pay for up to $1250 one way from your gateway airport to your base, only if your address on file is outside the US. If it's above 1250, you'll pay for it yourself and then get it reimbursed.

2. Depends on fleet, there's more and more split lines coming out where it can be in 2 chunks of time, but the majority of lines on the 747/777 are still 17/14.

3. 1 leg a day, 20+ hour layover, usually pretty decent hotels especially international. Picked up by drivers to and from the hotel, and food options are usually good. Catered on board with okay-ish food.

1. Just to add to the $1250 one way limit on international as I now use it commuting from Frankfurt to Portland. I found a round trip FRA - PDX - FRA that was around $1100 total. A one way FRA was about $1600. I asked for the round trip and the company purchased it straight away. I also found a one way in December just over $1000, three weeks before traveling home, asked for it and it was immediately purchased.

Lesson here is, look out for your best interest, let the company know how much they are saving off the cap, and travel easy.

2. I am making a big assumption here but if you are a lower time turbo-prop driver, you may get offered the 767 or 737. (Commuting to 747 or 777 MIA is your best Gateway). If offered the 767 or 737, don't panic as the seat lock is a short 2 years. But please know that these fleets have a lot of split lines, meaning 2 commutes per month. There are some single blocks, but right now they are definitely the minority.

3. Domestic Amazon on the 767 and 737 is one or maybe two legs per day. Lots of day time or evening trips. 1.5 to 6 block hours, 12 to 54 hour layovers (you read that right, I have three 54s in a 13 day period this month). Hilton or Marriott properties, mostly. Lots of downtown locations. Hilton let's you keep the HHonors points. Very easy life.

I have about 1000 121 SIC time in a turboprop and flew a C208 single pilot prior to that for a while. When you say two commutes per month, what days on and days off would it look like on the 767 and 737? Thanks for the reply.

I've been through this thread looking for an answer, but would like some clarification. I'm not at Atlas, I'm a CA at my regional. But recently have flown with a couple FOs who were interested in Atlas, but we're unsure about training pay. Being a former CFI I told them I wasn't sure, but I was curious as well and that I would ask around and let them know.

I've seen in a few threads where training pay was $1600/mo. But I also see talk of an LOA from 2022 that training pay was negotiated out and day 1 of training starts min guarantee.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
