Do you like your vacation days? At ABX, if your vacation days end up falling on scheduled days off, they will slide to cover work days. At ATI, if your vacation days fall on scheduled days off, well, that's nice.
Home basing is overrated. Sure, it's nice to have somebody else worry about how you're going to get to work and back home, but how much is it worth to you? And as ATI gets all hot over their new Amazon uniforms, especially now that the CVG hub is open, I am convinced that home basing will be on the table if ATI wants anything more than what they have now.
‘Do not discount the price of homebasing.... Commuting is stressful already especially with how full flights have been also constantly checking loads, and have to play crash pad dog and pony show. Not everyone has the option of ABX or ATI metal into CVG. Pass, I’ll take my ticket and arranged hotel and transportation and enjoy a beach day this weekend not having to think about how am I going to get to work.
