Pros

Eventually the heavy cargo planes will be remotely operated (drones) because Atlas/Polar/Southern can not attract pilots.

Cons

Hostile work environment. Would rather park airplanes than pay for pilots. In 2019 we sat the 777's rotating them between "heavy maintenance" and storage for four months. A 777 circumnavigates the globe every 30 hours (if you have crew) usually in three legs. Each leg represents 250K in PROFIT X 3 every 30 hrs and we parked three airplanes for four months.

Pros

I loved working for Atlas Air worldwide. Too many pros to count but I’ll try: Got to travel the world! Training was awesome! Met amazing people! Met amazing military members!! Got paid to do it!

Cons

Could not be the best fit for an older person or someone with a large family (although still doable with Luanda flight schedules)!

Pros

Not a lot of pros I could think of

Cons

It's a very chaotic place. The company likes to outsource services that employees need. They dont seem to care about the quality of services given as long as its the cheapest. In the years that I've been there, I've never gotten more than 2.5% annual raise. Mgmt will always have an excuse why you couldn't get the maximum 3%.
