Anyone know about Atlas Air schedules?
More specifically, is there any schedule available other than the 14-17ish days away at a time?
I head someone mention that there is a 7 on 7 off available but cannot find much information on it.
I would be very very excited to fly a 74 but not sure the family would tolerate that much time away.
Thank you
 
There really isn't a Atlas schedule. What I mean by that is the lines are all over the place. The lines are either 30 days or 60 days and within those days it might be one 17 day trip or a mix of trips some as short as 2 day trips.
 
This is really interesting. Gonzo thank you for the reply! a 60 day line! wow! Are they hard lines with he same crew the entire time? If you get a 60 day line how much of that time is home and on the road? 30/70 or 50/50?
I am interested because like I said, I would really love to do some of that flying and see other parts of the world. But I also love my cushy 121 schedule that is very flexible and lets me have a life outside of work.
Anyone work there?
 
To add a little to what @Alchemy posted, Atlas is one of only two airlines that mixes 121 flag rules with 117 rules. So you have to watch the company like a hawk to make sure you don't end up at the big brown desk. I have a feeling I am in for a rude awakening in a month or so. I am going from bidding top 5 in a base that did only 117 flights to bottom of the CVG list.
 
So, people are saying don't go to Western Global, don't go to Atlas... where's the right place to go to get noticed by the big guns?

Kalitta, allegiant, spirit, a regional with flow IMHO. Western global is probably a good bit better than atlas in terms of pay/qol from what I hear, but I don't know a lot about them.

I have to strongly disagree with at least the regional part. Things aren’t great here, but it’s not worth going back to that crap.

I guess you missed to thread where WGA was not a place to be. :cool: You ACMI guys need to let us 91 and 135 guys know where to go. ;)

Be my guest if you want to try it. I'm trying to tell you how it is after the honeymoon period of the new job wears off. Don't show up and think a new contract is coming soon. It'll be 2022 or later and probably arbitrated (not voted on). Meanwhile everyone else on the ramp is making damn near double your pay. Not a great feeling.

I'm definitely not arguing with you... I'm just trying to figure out where to hang my hat for a year or two until hopefully I get a call from the career destinations, or even a place where it can be a career destination. I'm still learning about the ACMI world and just trying to sort out what is what.

I have a ton of respect for you, but I think you are letting current events get to you.
Kalitta - Connie is not going to be around forever, and what happens when he is gone
Allegiant - Not bad if you live in a base you can hold or willing to move to base, but best case you will have zero QOL outside of work with only getting one day off at a time.
Western Global - You will go to some of the worst places on earth and you can't say no, make less money than at Atlas and get to spend 20 hours in a middle seat.

Spirit is a good pick, but they have always been a good pick. Their school house is a • show, but out on the line I hear it is a good company to work for.

Ask me again in a few months, but right now I am not killing myself to get out.
 
Gonzo, I live with/near a TON of allegiant guys and their QOL after year 1 is great. The whole day trip thing seems to work for everyone there and most get a few days off in a row. Depends on your seniority, but after 1 year its pretty decent. Even if you don't mind sitting at home on reserve year 1 isn't bad. Allegiant is not a commutable job. Almost everyone lives in base.
