Doesn't seem wiseass to me. Can almost guarantee anything you could want to know about gateway has been discussed here and the search this thread button at the top of the page he pointed you to is a very efficient way at getting to that in formation.

 

I just searched this thread for "gateway". That brings up 150 posts, not that much to read through.

 

Sorry I asked then, folks. I guess there is such a thing as a dumb question. Now back to flying my silly little rj.

 

Read the thread, all you seek is there........

And if you get the tech test email, let me know. I will bend over backwards to help you out.

 

Will do... sorry about being short, John... I'm gonna PM you in a bit.

 

Seems the misunderstanding was resolved....nothing to see here folks

 

Sorry about being short, folks... kind of in a bad spot right now, and all sorts of nastiness pushed me into arsehole mode, and stupid me took it out on this thread. Totally unprofessional, I know. Sorry again, I'm gonna take the time to read through the thread on my commute, and appreciate all the good info. If it's possible- maybe a mod can delete my idiotic post. Now, back to doing battle with crew scheduling. John, if I ever encounter you on an overnight- the drinks are on me, I promise.

 

I'm sure we've all been there, at some point or another..

Anyway, Gateway Travel is essentially company provided travel to and from your residence to your assigned base (as long as your residence is more than 130 miles from your base). The company will provide a positive space ticket and hotel accommodations (at your base) prior to the report time of your trip, but on your own time. Your Gateway airport should be located within 130 miles from your residence, and from what I understand, be on the list of airports that are currently designated as Gateways (approved by the Company and Union).
There are tax implications to utilizing the Gateway airfare, and I'm sure other details.. but that should give you the picture.
Oh yeah, I think I recall you mentioning that you live in the SanFran area.. I believe SFO is on the list.

Again, I do suggest you take some time to page through this thread, as there is some great information - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I think it's all beneficial if you're serious about working for Atlas.

Time for a beer?
Cheers..

 

Thanks, Verbal... beer? Pfft... bring me a barrel if your finest bourbon!

 

Let me help you out. Gateway means you live wherever you want, just like any airline, but rather than commute and jumpseat to/from your domicile, Atlas buys you a ticket so that you have a guaranteed seat. They also pick up the tab for the hotel room in domicile. If you don't want to read through 13,000+ replies, and you're taking a lot of offense to people pointing you in the right direction, Atlas may not be for you. You have to be somewhat self-sufficient at Atlas, especially when you're on the other side of the globe without a cell signal.

Think NetJets if you need more info about Gateway travel. But honestly, do the work and read the thread, all of it. Everyone else did, and every few months someone comes along and asks a question that has been asked and answered several times on here. Those that have been here (this thread) tire of it.
