I don't know about Brown but Purple and I think Big D make you pay for your own hotel while in training, that would suck. Take that into your calculations. Plus the hotel we use in Miami has free breakfast everyday and dinner 3 or 4 nights a week! Plus the rooms have a kitchen for making your own meals. Adds up.

There is a little something called a business plan...we seem to have one that works (for now). So, please keep your sights on the big picture, and don't get caught in the short term issues like training pay, and yes, even first year pay.
I am fully aware that the situation has real consequences but getting on at a company that has a viable business and one that has a future (at least short to medium term!!) is the key factor in determining the value of a job.

A few have touched on it but...
$1600/month training pay + $55/day per diem + free board at Residence Inn
$1600/month until OE completion or 4 month - whichever comes first. (Our 76 class hit 4 months before OE completion - 74 may be a lot less)
Guarantee is 50 hours for first year at $75+. Depending on how much reserve you sit or operate you can factor in per diem. 62 with one year on property.
I opt out of healthcare due to wife's job and also take advantage of 401k. Take home mid month is around 1650. Per diem / overtime / etc is paid at the end of the month from previous month bean counters. That has ranged anywhere from 1650 to 4300 take home.
So many factors to consider...OE being backed up, enough LCA, enough flying, etc. This has been my experience midway through 76 program. Through the maturity on the 767 program it may be different now. 74 from what I have gathered is a better oiled machine.
Better than some...not as good as others. Still happy to be here though.
Hope this helps.

Other companies may pay more. Other companies also don't fly you to work on their dime. Not jumpseating is worth it's weight in gold. It's priceless waiting at gate and getting eyed by other pilots doing the rack and stack about who will get the jumpseat as you tell the agent who is trying to get you in the system you have a revenue ticket (first class on occasion).
Bottom line is does Atlas fit with your life and QOL. It's always greener on the other side...right? :-)

For those wanting to know first year pay, this is my final pay stub from year 1, including newhire training. I was hired toward the end of january that year so you can add about $6000 to the gross income total to compensate for those first 30 days when I wasn't on property yet for the year.
