Don't expect it to be like domestic gigs. If you think you will be able to get in and game the system...many have tried. If your spouse can't handle things while you are gone, or either of you expects to come off a trip and go home for something short of a critical situation...it's not the place you should be.
Like I said, the HR and Flight Ops folks can sniff it out pretty good. None of this is intended to comment on anyone who has posted, just something to understand.
I just turned down a job for this very reason last week. I did not want to be there; and while having a job, getting hired as a B727 Captain would have been great I did not want to be there. I told them flat out if Atlas called me for an interview I would have to leave immediately. I was not going to do anything I consider to be professionally unethical. They actually thanked me and said if I did not find what I was looking for in the next couple of months to call them back. I have several friends already tell me I should have done it anyway, but as bad as things are, I don't believe in going around $hitting on people. Karma...
