Thanks in advance.

Good luck.

Advice
Hey folks,
I'm looking for some thoughts on a career move from current Atlas employees.
I'm currently a regional FO w/ approx. 3100TT and 0 TPIC. I'm about 1-2 years off from upgrading. My QOL is great now and I'm surviving on pay. Obviously QOL will go down and pay will go up upon upgrade. My end goal is mainline.
Travel has always been huge to me and the type of international flying and aircraft at Atlas sounds very appealing to me. My reservations about going to Atlas would be the commitment to being gone long blocks of time as well as losing flight benefits on mainline for my family and myself.
My two questions;
1. What would be a better path to the mainline, an FO with a 767/747 type and international experience or a regional CA with 1000 PIC?
2. Are pilots at Atlas acquiring enough airline miles to buy the family occasional flights?
Thanks for your time.

We have airline benefits after 6 months (ZED). If you think the long blocks are going to be an issue, or may have family ramifications...stay away. Get your Jet PIC, focus on your end goal. If we pull out a decent contract I may feel differently, but at these wages (for this kind of work) I'd get the PIC.

If mainline is your end goal, stay at your regional, get your tpic and wait. Heavy time with 0 pic puts you at the end of the qualified candidates. Take it from me, that's where I am. Not to mention with all the regional/mainline agreements, coming here will make it that much harder to get on there. Stay put, enjoy your quality of life and forget Atlas.
