I am not sure if you were trying to funny or you are just being a dumb@&& but why would you want to comment like that. Hopefully if you are are at Atlas you are planning on leaving to greener pastures.

No kidding. I guess sarcasm doesn't transmit here easily.

I personally love making $82/hr while most pilots junior to me make $98/hr, and even based within driving distance of my house while I hump it to CVG. It's pretty sweet.

Hey guys...I posted in another thread about how I have an opportunity with Atlas coming up. I'm just trying to tie up a few loose ends in terms of information and any help is greatly appreciated.

How does living in a gateway city work? As far as I have been able to understand, Atlas will buy you an airline ticket to get you to your base in time for a trip. Is that right? Does that also count if you are on Reserve? I'm also assuming that DFW counts as a gateway city, correct?

I know that once you are on a trip it changes all the time in terms of where you go...and I really don't have a problem with that at all. My main concern is days off and time spent away from home. How much flexibility and control do you have at Atlas in regards to both of those?

Anyways, I am very excited about this opportunity and as far as I can tell Atlas seems like a great place to work for. Thank you for any help!

You have the basics of gateway and, yes, it does apply to a reserve assignment as well. With Gateway travel, there is also the issue of imputed income, but that seems to be hit or miss.

Once you bid for schedule, the days on or off are basically set, there is , currently, nothing which allows trading or dropping all or part of a trip.

Thank you for that.... Yeah, I saw most of it. But as you can imagine some of it I missed after 900+ pages worth of information. There were one or two things I wasn't clear about which were the things I asked.

I appreciate it!

Because they're buying the ticket, they'll have you fly into base and get proper rest before your assignment. If you live in Florida and are based in ANC, that could be as much as two full days off prior to your first day of work. In CVG on the 767, they'd want you there about 2 pm-ish the day prior if you're dong domestic routes.

Days off are days off. You get your bid @ 21st of the month prior. If you bid/get a reserve line, you have to check your schedule 30-35 hours prior to your first reserve window to see if you need to be notified of a trip. If on reserve, you can be extended up to three days at the end of your trip. Also applies to lineholders, but only if it's your last scheduled flight that gets impacted so close to launch that they can't get anybody else in position. You won't have many choices to start, but as the 767 becomes the new-hire airplane, you should see consistent movement upwards due to growth or if that dries up, retirements/attrition. We lose 50/year in a normal year, should be considerably higher until we fix the CBA.
