I'll just put it this way. I'm gone fewer days than when I flew for Atlas. Gateway was nice, but that always added a day at the beginning of my 15-17 days of work (more if i worked more than 1 block).
yes, I do a 1 leg commute that is pretty easy.
The old saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" is pretty applicable. If you have the means to leave Atlas, that's been the going mentality since I got there in 2013. The difference in leaving was literally more than a million $$. I could go on and on about trip trading, pickups/drops, vacation, pay rates etc... but some folks are hung up on the possibility of having to jumpseat to work and possibly working one more day
