You will be away from home 18 to 19 days per month depending if you commute once or twice. Day night swapping point to point round Robbin routes. The most miserable existence in the industry right now.
Agreed. Not uncommon at all - 17 day trip to have 5-7 red eyes. 24 hours off ( worst rest possible ) couple hub turns, red eyes. Oh and the odd PSM-HHN turn for good measure. That's not fatiguing at all.

24 hours in Hawaii- sure. Arrive at midnight exhausted. Sleep till 9-10. Wake up, grab lunch. Maybe walk around, back to work.

Come on over and see for yourself.

BTW- every single airline, including the RJ's pay more 😂😂😂

So when are you leaving At-less for the regional of your choice?

I've left the RJ's 4 years ago waiting on Fed/UPS.

We have had pilots leave Atlas to go back to the regionals.

This doesn't sound fun at all. Coming back frm MLOA, with a First Class special issuance medical, so not even sure where I can get hired. Oh, beats working AT Amazon. They work you like a Hebrew slave, and much like the ancient Egyptians, they don't believe in unions either. Cheers😀

Love your water wagon pic....”110 seconds of water “, baby!

I also returned with a special issuance, don’t think you will have any problem in this market. If you are set on ACMI, I’d think K4 or even WGA would be better than AAWW, new contracts, reasonable mgt, good pay, & much better QOL.

Just saying......

OMNI has the best ACMI contract, but it is passengers only, if that is a problem...
