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.
Understand fully. But many of the people they've turned down had a sincere desire to work at Atlas, knew a lot about the company, studied them for a long time, knew the schedule, and genuinely wanted to fly there. They weren't the "apply to the flavor of the month type", nor trying to "pimp" them for a 747 type as it was described a while back. In other words, they had no plans on leaving if hired.
