I volunteer so my numbers may not be typical. Remember, you never have to do more than 20. Here’s what I remember.

Sep 22 days, Oct 20 days, Nov 30 days, Dec 6 days (paid guarantee of 20 days), Jan 16 days (17 day guarantee), Feb 17 days. Guarantee is 17 days. Oct, Nov, Dec have been scheduled as 20 day months. A lot of new guys have been hired and we have many more scheduled runs. My guess is that OT will be available, but on a smaller scale in the future. I volunteered every day in December, but was not used much in December due to the peak season stable flying with UPS.

I didn’t “work” everyday. I had 24/7s, reserve days, rest, etc, and spent a day at home, but the result was pay for 30 days with associated OT and holiday pay. It was my choice.

Granted things have changed for the better over there during the past year... they had to in this hiring environment... just like at every other tier 2 or 3 carrier... dont mistake that for benevolence.
I very much agree with HD. Don’t let the rhetoric sway you. Atlas will always be the dominant player in this space. The reason for the turmoil is that they are fighting to improve pilot lifestyle. Atlas will settle this contract, and I am confident that they will again be the ACMI leader in pay and work rules.

They’ve never been the leader. AirborneExpress or current ABX were and still are.

Occams Razor, I want to be where the best QOL is, not fighting over some meaningless title. You cannot be a leader today without homebasing.
