Atlas Air First Officer

Flying with Atlas Air is a lifestyle like no other. Here, our pilots enjoy the flexibility of a career built around their lives and the fulfillment of making the extraordinary happen every single day.

Flying with a greater purpose, our pilots carry everything from the U.S. military to humanitarian aid, sports teams to music superstars, e-commerce to economies- and do so with the world’s largest fleet of 747s as well as fleets of 777s, 767s, and 737s.

The unrivaled Atlas Gateway travel program makes sure that all Atlas pilots have positive-space seats for every domestic commute and international gateway travel for crew living outside the U.S. (up to $1,250 each way), meaning no more flying standby or using a crash pad. It means our pilots live where they want to live – we pick up the cost of their stress-free commute.

Living life to the fullest, our pilots choose routes and schedules that suit their lives.


Because a job at Atlas is more than a chance to fly, it is an opportunity to rise.
