Atlas is bad for international commuters
 
subject says it all

And you felt the need to start a thread for it? Interesting. :confused:

Show me a airline that is good for international commuters…..

May I also add that Atlas is bad for someone wanting to make 500k and flying 10 hours a month?

Detils would be terrific so that we might guard ourselves against the threats you encountered. So far I have had no real problems getting home to Germany. Granted the sample size of 4 trips is small. Aside from a 25 hour delay out of GSP and HHN being remarkably undeserved by public transportation, I have gotten home when I expected. Ask me in two hours how the UA jumpseat heading to work panned out, but so far so good.

Enjoying that Coffee Fellows? :D

Seattle is a gateway city, I don't see the problem.

I only commuted 10 round trips last year. Paid for zero hotels, stayed in zero crashpads, and rode on zero jumpseats. I live in USA but I would say pretty good for a commuter.

Thank you for telling us something that literally everyone knows.

Service on the company deadheads stink. Didn't get a single cocktail on a 12 hr flight. Lots of sass from the flight attendant on that freighter too.

That’s good stuff right there. Let us know who does as well as being home 25 days a month. Not a pipe dream, it could happen. Pipe to one’s head would happen much sooner though. Quite a few of senior folks pulling above 500k, but putting some time in while the opportunity exists.

*We have quite a few who do the international commute long before the rash of outsourcing abroad. It will be interesting next year to see how things might be affected.

That opportunity is going away in a matter of weeks according to the news. China getting rid of the quarantine requirement next month….so it must be a matter of weeks now.

Plus, if the extra long double turns due to the elongated offload/upload ground times were to stop than it just may happen. After all, ICN is our home away from home these past years. We’ll see how HKG, Shanghai, Wuxi, etc. flush out and become actual free roaming areas. If so, then you’re on to something. CVD levels never really dictated our art 33 for China since the beginning as many refused to enter and plenty still haven’t refreshed their visas. Several boxes will need to be checked on this one.

Uncle Sam must like that too. :/

No doubt…
Art33 may last for awhile longer as the rash of “infected” may be sky rocketing along with reinstated US entry requirements. Stay on the trail of honey while it lasts.

My sarcasm wasn’t clear enough.

I have that problem in real life sometimes.

Doh, my apologies and unfortunately in person/ real life (not internet dreamscape) my sarcasm is all too clear - subtle or more finesse would be better. On a side note, Cordis showed up on my schedule- hmmmm.
