Hawaii is now a gateway, and not just HNL, either.
LOTS of guys live overseas. Usually, the travel is not too bad. Here are some recent examples:
Co. buys ticket for guy from Kiev to Western Europe, where he starts a trip.
Guy in Philippines pays cheap ticket to HKG, company buys him ticket from HKG to ANC to start a trip (or he DH on atlas to ANC).
Guy in Dubai gets ticket paid for by co. from DXB to Asia to start a trip.
Some guys overseas still have US gateway, and their overseas tickets are usually cheaper than his US gateway tickets.
Another guy overseas says his Gateway is in HI, and the company usually pays for his travel.
Guys live in Europe, S. America, the Carribbean, Middle East, Asia, Australia, Canada. If you want to live overseas Atlas (or Kalitta) is much better than DAL/UAL/AA.

True. In fact, it matters little what the bidline is other than the footprint itself. It's just a fact of life that any given bidline will most likely change before you actually step out the front door. Other than DHL flying that is. Bottom line: Don't decide to fly here or not to fly here on the ability to live overseas. If you like the kind of flying we do then by all means come and join us! If not, then it would be better not to. Those of you who have been following this thread for some time know the mantra well that: "Change is constant". It's a mistake to plan your future enjoyment here on anything else other than liking the adventure of walking out your door not knowing precisely where on the planet you will end up. Some folks do indeed live overseas but for the most part it's on them to get to a gateway city in the U.S. for their assigned pairing. Planning on anything above that is not a good idea.

So haven't visited this forum for a little, starting to be more than a couple cups of coffee to get through it all! Quick question to pose to you all, honestly not trying to stir the pot. How likely is it that Atlas would get higher monthly guarantee and pay? And more contribution to the 401K? Just curious!what the common thought is. Thanks!

No, not optimism.
The top 2-300 are virtually out the control of the Union now by being out numbered by original Polar + 5yr and below prior airline, civilian pilots.
****ed off pilot group majority that's just not taking the BS anymore.
