Not for Atlas.

Many new pilots will appreciate the hedging security that comes with flying at Atlas as well as the constant adventure in the destinations we go to. Also you get to fly heavies.
The adventure of the 6 hour ground time in CSX. Or ICN 8 times a month. Good times.

Agree with the 6 hr ground time you pick the place, but ICN is mostly because HKG is not a layover nor is Shanghai as you should know based on current events so we might as well lump sum Australia shenanigans into the mix as well. ICN maybe 4-6 times, but 8 your doing it wrong possibly and there are worse places no doubt. Haven’t seen ICN more than 3 myself (jinxed now), but those turns from ICN do tend to get monotonous but wasn’t the norm until now. Other outfits 3 AM wake ups daily doing multi-leg 10-12hr days 2 crew members plus FA’s and PAX for several ground hog days in a row commuting back and forth some people enjoy or just call it work for decent coin. Live in base different story for most. One persons garbage another’s persons treasure, pick your adventure or demise. ANC or LAX based, Far East tends to suck you in for awhile most definitely.

uhhh…because you pointed to flying “heavies” in your previous post as a perk? Seriously, do you think flying “heavies” is more difficult than flying a narrow body? I am asking as a pilot with 15,000+ hours flying “heavies” around the world and several thousand more hours flying “less than heavies”.

Meh, I don’t sweat it. At least ICN is nice hotel. This is only a short term matter until we can start laying over in China and Hong Kong again.

ICN is a common sight for those based in ANC or LAX for certain. I’ve seen ICN quite a bit every month to the point that I was happy to have Narita on my schedule this month for the first time in some change.

I would love to see more European flying, but I haven’t had the lottery ball fall that way for me yet except for AMS. They have bounced the HNL and GUM ways for me both which are my stomping grounds.
