How much flying is international vs domestic? What are the hotels generally like? Feel free to PM me as well. Thanks.

5 years is my WAG. 17 on 14 tends to be junior reserve you'll be able to hold week on week off fairly quickly. Maybe 1/3 of the flying is international. Hotels are OK with the international hotels being the nicest. (Except Monterey)

His question was not out of the realm of reasonable if ABX was feeling the pinch to attract people as well. Which, they probably are not. I didn't see it as a reason to be sarcastic with the guy.
