And all the ID tickets I used to get in a former life were all SA(Space Available) anyway...It worked back in the day, but the airlines are running much higher load factors these days with hub/spoke system so heavily in use at all the legacy carriers.
Why would you want to go SA nowadays? There are so many good deals available on the internets (!!) if you just do a little homework.
Anyway, C5nwhaleguy is correct...we do accumulate a lot of miles. And I have used frequent flier miles for my family for a long time.

C5 and 744 thank for the replies. Always been a pax. airline guy, so was just wandering how it works on the ACMI side of things. Currently working in the sand-box and looking at coming back home. Sounds like a fairly descent job to me.

17 days but it isn't always 17 with many times less and sometimes more. if you like routine Atlas isn't for you
Initially, I had my doubts to0, but with the TA'd sections and rumor has it trip rig will be 17days/80 hrs plus 22% raises across 5 yrs, 3 weeks vacation, new airplanes, 13% profit sharing. those are great but lets face it long term security is worth its weight in gold. So why atlas? simple IMO, Atlas is already heavily weighted to INT'l Growth in the developing world. other considerations; our falling dollar and Atlas I believe is getting paid in foreign currency thus more profits; CUSTOMER PAYS FOR FUEL! Atlas is well plugged in as a gov't contractor and frankly can do trash hauling for far < and more reliable than the military. Can't remember the last time we hauled pallets on the mil side.
IMO the domestic airline sector is going the way of Ryan Air, squeezing more out of less and they have lost pricing power with the market saturated.
Good luck with your decision!

Just finished the Technical Assessment. Dang it was interesting, hard and all that. North Atlantic - who would have thunk it. I would like to figure out my score but I guess that I will just wait. Step #2 is in the books.
