This isn’t a question of Atlas buying your ticket. They buy your tickets, the difference is when you have to be in position to start your trip.
Atlas Gateway requires you to be in base on Day 1 10 hours prior to report (Unless your trip starts with a DH). When I was ANC base living on the east coast, that required me to leave my house 4am the day prior to Day 1 just to work my way up to ANC to meet my 10 hour rest requirement.
When I got JFK, I was able to get to base for my 10 hour rest require on the same day of departure depending on time of report. Same goes for Chicago.
For someone living in ANC, that commute time shortens up quite a bit with gateway travel.
On the last day of the trip, being JFK or ORD base. I was able to land and go straight to the terminal for catch a immediate flight home unless I landed late at night. When ANC base, that wasn’t the case. It usually required a full days travel to get home to the east coast.
