I will quit flying before I have to be away from my family for 17+ days, doing 40 hour layovers where you can’t even leave the hotel property...
when I say you couldn’t pay me enough, I seriously mean it. But for those who can do it/want it, go for it. More power to you |

Nothing against Atlas at all. It’s just surprising to see so many people give up on flow and a cemented slot at a legacy. They may know more about the future of American then we do.
But even in the mist of a contract battle, the work environment here at 5Y is no where near hostile like there were at my WO from the sounds of it Envoy also (constant battle with scheduling, fly it and grieve it none sense). One the contract gets settled and it will. It might be even better. If not, Atlas will continue to still be a training academy for UPS and FedEx. |

Horses for courses, as they say in the old blighty. I much prefer longer stretches of work, followed by more time off. Personal preference, neither is better or worse.
If you have to commute, longer stretches make it more worthwhile. |

well from what I hear, 17-20 days on and about a week off. And occasionally 60 days on in an out base across the world where you only have 1 30-hour period per week off
it would be amazing to fly a 7-4 around the world, I get that. But the schedule is something myself or my family can’t do. The place is like all others, pros and cons. |
