rates per Airline pilot careers
Lastly, the biggest drawback I’ve heard about Atlas is
they has/had crazy long trips. Please someone update me if this is no longer true. When I looked into Atlas ~2013, they had 20+ day trips that could be extended over 30 days. That’s too long out to have a life at home, and to me made Atlas impossible to work for.

Things are vastly different at Atlas now than in 2013.

I dont' think any of them actually care about literal time under United States 14CFR 121.
Bigger issues is whether that's 800 hours FA/18 and 1900 at Qantas or 2700 piston hours.

Are you a holder of a FAA Airman Certificate?
Do you meet the requirement for CFR 61.159?

A commodity market involves buying, selling, or trading raw products like oil, gold, or coffee beans.
