Of course knowing how this differs from purely scheduled 121 is important, but I've seen enough of your posts to know you enjoy FunBux™.
Never forget that this is ultimately a job. This is how you generate money to pay for a life outside work. So it is far more important that people understand what they WON'T get in comparison to other jobs flying 747s and 767s at other profitable & successful 121 operators.
I don't want to turn this thread into another version of 'Flightinfo.com'. Lord knows, there's more than enough of that around already. I do want to say, "Yes, I do enjoy life here". That doesn't take away at all from what you say, Jerry. There is more than enough room for improvement in work rules, pay, life style, and the rest. It doesn't change the fact that Atlas remains a place where I am pleased when it's time to go back to work each month. To my friends on the 767, I know things aren't the same there as they are on the 747. I can only speak from what I know, however. I will stand tall with everyone here as we work to improve things. That doesn't mean that I have to decide to be miserable along the way. It was Abraham Lincoln who said, "Most folks are just about as happy as they have a mind to be".
