What's of more concern to someone who is genuinely interested in Atlas due to the possibility of international commuting is whether or not provisions which make life overseas very workable in your current CBA will remain. Or will they be "traded" to square away other items.

There's nothing in our current contract specifically about international commuting to give up. Its somewhat workable with the gateway and alternate travel language in the contract, I doubt you'll see that traded away. It becomes more workable as you get seniority at certain bases where you can consistently bid lines that have you deadhead out of your base to begin operating overseas.

Sometimes it's the lack of language, or the permissive language (VXing on front end) that can make a world of difference. If it gets nailed down to "all trips, whether VX or not, must start and end at your Domicile/Gateway" that could be a significant issue, especially to someone with a life overseas.

All trips(VX included) do have to start and end at your base per the contract. You don't actually have to get to your base if its a deadhead and you want to go straight from your home but for scheduling/pay purposes you have to be patterned as if you were.
