From the story in the link...
"The new contract between the companies follows a letter of intent announced on April 1, 2013, and complements an existing Boeing 747-400F ACMI arrangement between Atlas and Etihad."
We currently operate one 744 for EY...and this would make it two.

Off days are off days. You have no responsibility to even remember who you work for. Even if you volunteer and are tagged, you can say no. The only potential issues would be the chance of getting extended (up to three days) from your previous trip, having to commute in on your last day off for your next trip or the requirement to call in 30-35 hours prior to beginning a reserve window.

Had to position in to CVG today (a day off) to start a trip tomorrow. Of course, I'm based here. Are they expecting JFK pilots to do the same, assuming you're going somewhere other than JFK to start the trip?

What do you mean you ran into trouble? If you don't live in base, it's perfectly normal to have to gateway travel to your base the day prior in order to be rested in place to depart on "day 1" of your trip. I actually had to gateway travel 2 days early on this trip. Travel on 17th to be rested in place on the night of the 18th which is actually the 19th Z day...the start of my trip. Did I miss something?

I come from the C-5 world...trust me this is way better. My experience so far (which is only 3 trips) says 99 times out of 100 the airplane works, you depart on time, catering is onboard, you have trans and a hotel room waiting for you when you step off the jet. I know some will chime in with exceptions but all in all, everything works WAY SMOOTHER than a C-5 trip. The best part is you don't have to go in to the office and fight the madness after you land from your 2 week trip. As a good friend of mine said, it's a lot like the C-5 life except for the crappy part.
