That is absurd. Has anyone simply refused? What are they going to do, not let you into the country you never left? Detain you? I'm curious.

I saw a Captain get really ****ed and threaten not to comply, but what are you really going to do? You're forced to go through customs twice!

Visiting the world at Atlas seems like an awesome job. If you get ANC, does that mean you give up 2 of your off days to commute back and forth from the states?
I am also more than a little concerned about the starting pay.....40K to fly a 747? Why in the heck did any of us become pilots in the first place? Not judging because I made 10 bucks an hour to fly freight years ago BUT that was in a small piston airplane NOT a 747. I see the numbers on APC and second year doesnt seem like much of a bump, am I missing something?

Another reason to get Worldwide Gateway Basing (no Pilot Bases...EVERYONE has a Gateway, and that Gateway is your BASE) in the next contract.
Starting pay is lower than normal everywhere. I think at US Airways it is still less than $30K the first year.

For new-hires going forward, I would plan on going to the 767, which is $78.04/hr first year (50 hour min), and $83.94/hr second year (62 hour min, DOS+4).

Yes...it may take you several days to commute to/from ANC.
