All depends on the gig. I am familiar with the option that you are presented with. 2 of my friends were given the same option over 3 years ago. I can also tell you one of the guys is flying for a super department out of MDW, the other couldn't find a job, and is now at AA via Atlas. Global jobs can range from 150 hours a year to over 600 with very little time @ home. Its a crap shoot, much like ANY job. Good luck and let us know what you decide.
