How does gateway travel work? Would I travel on day 1 and home (home being ANC) on day 17? Or will I essentially be working 19 days on because of travel on either side?

Is it possible to bid over to the 74 from the 76?

Any advice is appreciated!
At first it will be a rough QOL on the 767 living in ANC, but once you get some bidding power you should be able to cut days on the road down to 11-12.

You'd be seat locked on the 76 for 3 years. Your first year would definitely be hell, if not all first 3.
Don't lie to guys, working at Atlas is far from perfect but it sure beats a lot of other jobs.
