Atlas vs Netjets
#2
I know Atlas has those split lines so you don't have to be gone 16 days in a stretch, but can those be had reliably without sacrificing anything else? That's really the only thing that'd bug me about Atlas - doing a stretch of 7 at NetJets would be long enough.
I've gotten to the age where equipment and 'quality' of the clientele doesn't matter anymore. Days off and pay, *****es!

My first line award as a brand new 747 FO was a 10 on-13 off-8 on-8 off-14 on-6 off 60 day schedule. First month guarantee is a bit over 100 hours, second month 145 hours of credit.
These 60 day lines seem to go junior, at least in ANC 747. This cadence in trips is perfect for me, and 145 hours credit is nice.
During the 10 on and 14 on I should have a chance to go home for a day or two if I want. There is also a chance things change so I'm not counting on it. Consider it an additional bonus if it happens. The augmented rest rules means every time you touch your base, you usually get a couple of days off.

Here is a single data point. Apply all the usual caveats if you want.
