Exclamation Atlas Air vs. Air Transport International

Asking for a friend ...

If a regional pilot had a CJO at both Atlas and ATI, which would be the better option and why?

This is the only responsible answer. You should also wear a members only jacket at all times and have a helicopter you have to punch to get it to start.

Where do you live? Are you planning to move? Do you understand Atlas's gateway travel vs ATI's home-basing? What kind of flying do you want to do? What airframe were you offered? What airplane do you want to fly? What are your goals with the job? Are you hoping to move to another company or stay where you land? What's your family situation? What are your finances like?

Your question isn't bad, in fact this is exactly the place to ask it. However, if you want useful responses, you'll need to provide a little context and background for the advice you receive to contain appropriate focus and scope. Otherwise, as you've already seen, you'll get a lovely scatterplot useful and witty responses. Pilots, what more can I say?

ATI : 35 Aircraft
ATI : 400 pilots

Atlas: 121 aircraft
Atlas : 2100 pilots (after Southern merger)

As stated earlier, what are you trying to do?

I saw somewhere last week with all the new hires we're around 3,400 pilots?.

Maybe we’ve hired that many in the last couple years. But no, a combined seniority list will give us roughly 2,100 pilots on property at atlas/southern.

I'd be awful worried about working for an ACMI company that has essentially one customer (ATI).

What if his friend does not live at an Atlas base and is not planning to move, does not really care what equipment he flies or what routes, his priorities are QOL and pay?
