First time poster in this thread. I admit to have not carefully analyzed all 643 pages but I did go back about a month and have a few questions/clarifications so please don't beat me up too bad if this was asked 50 pages ago.

1. Does Atlas have any love for us pointy nose guys or has previous hiring heavily favored guys from big jets? I know we just put an A-10 driver through PIT who had to leave early for his 747 training at Atlas -- just curious if he's the norm or the exception.

2. Do I understand the basing correctly? Home domicile, they buy you a ticket to a gateway and once at a gateway you're on the clock? I ask this since I love where I live but the airlines don't like San Antonio's crappy 28 gate airport apparently... After 10 moves for me, and 4 schools for my 7th grader I'd REALLY like to never move again. Ever.

3. Your hourly pay seems to be fairly close to the majors, how does that equate to your annual pay?

I've got a bunch of other questions but I'd like to pace myself a bit and also spend some more time reading the thread before I get into any more detail.

Thanks!
