A question you'll probably get on the phone interview or down in MIA.

I pack for 7 days. My basic kit is a pair of jeans, a pair of shorts, workout gear, swimsuit, a few t-shirts, couple of polos, maybe a button-down. sneakers (which take up way too much room in my 22" bag) 7 pairs of underwear, 3 undershirts, two uniform shirts, one pair uniform pants. Fleece pullover.

Originally I was assigned 2 weeks hotel reserve in CVG. Before the trip began, I saw i was passing through ANC so i brought the leather jacket. Usually the leather jacket is the only question mark. Minor modifications if it's mostly hot or super cold.

Look back or search this thread and there are several places that give good advice on this issue and some additional packing lists.

Murphys' law usually applies when you do or do not bring the leather jacket.

That's just not right. . Even for a visitor like myself. I am scarred for 24-hours

I replaced my sneakers with vibrams about 2 years ago. Saves lots of space, easy to clean, no socks required. They're lighter and take up much less space.

Start with a really, really big suitcase. Not kidding.

This may have been covered before, but how did Atlas get stuck paying imputed income for travel expenses to your "base" vs other airlines that are home based like Omni, Kalitta, World etc and others who also buy tickets but are not taxed?
