Positive space from home to base?
Are there any cargo outfits that provide PS back and forth for assignment? I currently live in MSP. Not sure if that matters or not.
And for someone currently in the 121 world, are there cargo carriers "better" than another? Is one more stable than another? I'm relatively new and definitely trying to learn about the good and bad about cargo operations.

Does Atlas and Kalitta operate the same way?

Can anyone expand on the DH cabin upgrade conditions at ATI?
I hear Atlas is first/business class anytime you overfly water or flights > 2 hrs. Is ATI the same?
Can you keep hotel and air miles? And where do you normally meet airplanes or is it unpredictable?
Sorry for the shotgun approach but I haven't been able to find answers to these questions in the ATI threads.

Kalitta Air positive spaces you from your nearest home airport to where they need you. Since you never fly out of your base (YIP), you never pay imputed income on your flights or your hotel. Currently you get only the cheapest coach seat available, however. Even if it means multiple legs. Still, no non-rev commuting is very nice.
From MSP, you will usually fly to CVG via ORD on United or American.

We do keep miles and hotel points, although many of the domestic hotel rates are negotiated to not get points (although you do get "credit" for the stay towards any status). Some of the international partner airlines don't give full mileage at the fare classes ATI purchases.
With airline status comes domestic and occasional international upgrades, at least into "comfort" seat zones, if not a truly comfy seat. So for the most part, we try to keep bookings limited to one or two systems, whatever works best for you at your home airport, which does have some service requirements (3 carriers, 50 seat aircraft...), and the Company does a reasonable job of keeping you on your desired airlines.
We do get airline lounge access for airport layovers of 5+ hours, if your status doesn't do it already.

Thanks. I must say the idea of "middle seating" it from western CONUS to some location in Europe/Africa/Asia seems pretty undesirable.
I guess the upside is you never really have to worry about making your commute on your day off. Having that extra night or two at home every period would be nice.
