No kidding.
On the upside you make the highest payrate that you could hold at any base.
On the downside you have to commute to ATL, spend 17 nights per month in a crashpad with no perdiem. And you have to actually work instead of "relax" for 5 hours up at cruise.
For commuters it's not exactly a good deal. For local guys it's the bee's knees.
