I spent 8 plus years at Comair averaging only 13 days off a month. One advantage I see with Atlas, for me, is to have those days off in a row. I would routinely have 6 days on then one day off and back on the road at Comair.
The other plus is you live at home and don't have to commute to a domicile to pick up a trip. I had a crash pad in NYC that took $3600 out of my pocket annually for my previous job. Everything is a trade off.
Yep, all those reasons are why I want that job also. I've got 8 years in regionals and was around when you guys stood up and showed some sack at COMAIR.
And yep, I did a 22 month stint in New York also. I was lucky that my crashpad wasn't that pricey. That DelCon ramp at JFK was a disaster when I flew in there as late as 2004, haven't been back since. I hear it's WORSE now.
