STS=Santa Rosa, Somona County, California. Didn't even know Atlas had a base there!!
In my opinion it is a matter of necessity. Not your aviation back round what will make an individual take a job here (HKG or CDG). In regard to the ATLAS STS rumor or possibility that it will happen here... Let the company get new hires out there if that is what they want. At the end of 2 years perhaps 1 year these individuals can claim hardship (good luck on this one) and/or find themselves down bidding only to lock themselves for 2 yrs (it might still be a pay raise).
On another note. No FDAs line examples have been put out yet. With a 3hr one way limo ride to the hub (btw you all know this is not on the clock),.How is the company going to cover RA and RB periods? Is the crew member responsible for his/hers own lodging near the hub? Food? Too many unknowns to let this document be shove down on our throats.
At the end of the day, people that want to be in either FDA will bid it. To them I will say go gripe to someone else on how crappy you situation is in the new FDA. And get used to hearing "You Bid It, You had a Choice"
