The great majority of Atlas Pilots hate that flying. Glad to hear K4 is getting most or all of it!

If you are one of those people who likes locking yourself into the hotel room, its a different story.
Id rather do that instead of the craphole like cgo or something

As for TK flying, I agree that it is some of the better flying out there. The catering is good, the hotels are good, and the deadheads on TK are very nice now that the staff pass thing is fixed. (Although getting zero credit on star alliance does suck). As for losing the flying to Kalitta, I had one of the marketing and sales guys on a flight, and Atlas told TK that we wouldn’t be doing the flying come November due to peak and our UPS/Fedex support where we place 10 plus aircraft with them from Nov-Dec. We are supposed to get back the TK flying in Jan, but that probably also depends on TK taking us back then.
