Layover hotels weren’t perfect everywhere, but generally were good to great, as crew rest is the real reason for the comfort. International travel was always business or better for the same reason - and mostly enjoyable.

When you get home though...whew, it’s a couple days of hard nap time. Not sure how anyone stays alive to retirement.

Fun.

I ride on Brown and Purple often - they do a different job all together, but I think the Atlas job was more fun/adventure. They do have great perks, and it’s still a goal.
