Read up the Atlas threads. Talk to as many current Atlas crews as you can.
You may want to hold out for a legacy position. Conduct a pay and benefit analysis. The potential for pay and benefits contributions may have you pretty close to your current net pay in a couple of years.
Overseas pay was a great way to accumulate a handsome nest egg. A position with a legacy will help keep your accumulations from invasion due to prolonged low pay received from the ACMIs.
