In that case you'd spend 22 days on the road as Boeing mentioned but you'd get an extra 27 hours of pay give or take a few hours...

And yet we have dozens of idiots willing to help out Purchase and outbase themselves for 30-90 days at a time.

If you mean Negotiating Committee then yes. We're going for an Industry Standard Contract. What does that mean? It could mean we end up with damn near anything depending on what happens. We're most likely 2 or 3 years away from a new contract. Currently the company is pushing back over Industry Standard Language for Furlough and Uniforms.

In 2-3 years we will no longer have any economic leverage for a decent contract because time is not on our side. Management is losing some small battles now, but dominating the war because they control the clock and know the game far better than anyone. Our pilots don't self police, and the Union has little power or interest in sticking their necks out too far.
In 2-3 years the Pilot Shortage will be much worse than it is now, barring some major catastrophe. The retirement/new student start numbers now are way upside down, from an HR point of view.

Thanks for the great response! How does the Gateway Travel vs Alternate Travel vs home basing (which I know Atlas doesn't have) all work. Thanks in advance, all I know is regular bases, currently at a ULCC and thinking about making the jump, ready for a change of scenery.
If it is between your Gateway, and a location other than your base, then it is not Gateway travel, you don't fly on your days off, and there is no imputed income.
Alternate Travel is where, at the start/end of a trip, Atlas airlines you to/from a location other than your Gateway: It is not Gateway travel, you don't fly on your days off, and there is no imputed income.
Home Basing is where you are airlined to/from the airport closest to your home (as opposed to a "Gateway"...an airport that serves a number of cities/towns in a region). With Home Basing (or Gateway Basing), your base is your Home city (or you Gateway). There are no Pilot Bases with Home/Gateway Basing.
Gateways example: MKE used to be the only Gateway at Atlas, for all of NE WI and the Western UP. Now MKE and GRB and ATW are all Gateways...

The burden is thrown back on the crew member to carefully examine everything, including pay, to catch the mistakes. Many crew-members are finding pay discrepancies...

That is the problem. There is no clear answer on any of this. There are multiple letters, memos, and post it notes that are drawn from a hat and applied at the whim of whoever feels like it at the time...

Atlas Air is a monstrosity. I can't believe people are still applying.
