#1 - I get hired, based in JFK, choose to live close to LIT. I always request to stay out 17 days in a row. How does my work period start if my first leg is from JFK to somewhere? What about WRI? What about FRA? How does my work period end if the last mission terminates in JFK? In FRA? Will I ever be required to spend reserve time in JFK? If so, how do I get there and do I pay for my own lodging? What happens if a mission during my 17-day window passes through LIT or JFK?
#2 - hired, HSV-based, choose to live within driving distance of HSV. How do all the above questions change (substituting HSV for LIT and JFK)?
I realize this might be outside the scope of the hiring discussion, and I'll be happy to move the question to another forum if it's more appropriate there. Thanks again for the continued great info on Atlas--I can't wait to get myself qualified to apply!

Thanks for the informative response. I think I'm starting to figure it out. I've been hoping the job would force us to move away from LIT since inertia will likely keep us there otherwise. Guess if I get on with Atlas I'll have to try a different way to encourage a move.
Thanks again for clearing things up for me. I go back and forth during these posts about whether to move near my base or move near a gateway city of my choice if I make it in. For the time being I'm back to the gateway city opinion.

Grill Is DEAD!!!!! (thread creep)
Ok guys and gals I have been on here for 2 weeks wondering if the grill was still in place at the hotel in MIA, well it was until last night. Someone left the damn thing on HIGH all night (forgot to turn it off) and melted all the knobs and ruined a burner or two. I think a moment of silence is in order............................................. ............................
Now on to the most important thing. The front desk said it was a fellow atlas pilot, if that is the truth, then lets own up, and I will chip in and buy another if not we need to set the record straight with the hotel. So if you are at the long stay hotel in MIA and used the grill Friday night please PM so we can fix this. They are talking about not getting another one and that would just SUCK!!!!!
cheers,

Actually, it wasn't left on all night. What happened was when a group used it a couple of nights ago, they had moved it. When it was moved, some of the pipes that were connected to the burners became disconnected causing the flame to engulf the entire underneath. Not something we noticed until the thing got so hot underneath and in front, that the knobs melted. Immediately, we went inside and told maintenance. They shut the gas off and put a sign on it(after it cooled of course) saying "out of order". It was 4 of us from the newest 400 class at Atlas, but it was completely not something we did out of negligence and we definately didn't leave it on all night. On behalf of my other Atlas buds who were out there, I apologize that the grill died while we were using it, but it was not something we really had any control over. We were just as bummed as you.

Not sure if this was covered in the 208 pages, I searched for a while and used the search function without success. Do you have to have an internal letter of recommendation to get an interview/hired at Atlas? Thanks.

What kind of lines are the 76's going to be used for? Shorter legs, I guess, but will these legs stay closer to "home" or will they be used for smaller loads that still need to be sked randomly round the world?
Just saying.
