I would add work rules and pay. Yes it’s a 747 but it’s paid similar an LLC narrow body. Atlas FO tops out $213/hr and Frontier/Sun country FOs are topped out $180-185. Captains similarly aren’t much better paid at Atlas 313 vs 280.
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.

Generally legacies value 121 TPIC and whole person metrics over variety of experience. International widebody time has been valued by FDX/UPS.

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?

Thanks for the update. I’m glad the schedules have improved a lot. Can the trip still be extended at company discretion? If so, for how long and how often does that happen?

I take your meaning, but I believe the term you used in not quite what you meant.
