QOL is in the eye of the beholder. If domestic flying is what you’re looking for:
1. 737
2. 767
That’s as it stands for the moment. 747 can have decent QOL but you’ll need some seniority and it depends where you live/are based. I know very little about the 777 but I understand it has very predictable routes.

This has been nice since depending on where you are your food options have declined. some places are delivery only and the hotel breakfasts have been pared way back or removed. A lot are basically box of cereal or granola bars maybe a hand fruit and coffee.

Well, you need to tell that to our accounting department because that is exactly what they are doing.
Atlas does whatever they want to. Just like imputed taxes on Gateway and in base lodging.

While the GSA has differing domestic rates and the State Department sets international rates for different locations the IRS has their own one size fits all rates for transportation industry workers of $66 and $71. Atlas took the simple solution and everything above $71 is taxed. With the tax reform a couple years ago there is no longer a federal employee business deduction but some states may still allow the deduction on state income taxes.
