I could not agree more about cargo companies like Atlas, Southern, and my current company, Western Global Airlines, being a good deal for someone that does not want to move and wants an easy commute. I work anywhere from 16-20 days a month and the company buys me a ticket out of my home airport to wherever my next trip will start and then they fly me back home when my trip is done. I get per diem the entire time I am away from home regardless of whether I am flying or not and I also spend a lot of time sitting reserve at home with a 12hr call out. And I make about $4500-5000 a month doing it. It's not the greatest, but it's not regional pay either and I don't have to pay for a crash pad or commuting expenses.
