My last trip at Atlas had me away from home for a whopping 38 days! Commuting (Hitchhiking the North Atlantic) was nothing short of hell over the busy summer months. Absolutely no support at all from the company. All this and then you fly with others who enjoyed Business Class travel to their aircraft. Yep..same airline, same union. You have the "have and have not club" If you are new..welcome to the have not portion. Even on a good month and you find yourself out 17 days. Plan on 2 getting to work and 2 going back. 2 days to recover after the trip home. 2 days of rest then the worry starts wondering how the hell your going to get to Gothenburg, Sweden to start your next trip! (Hint..there is no easy way) I know there is banter about the STN situation going away. Well it never did over the past 2 years I was there and Id bet it want go away anytime soon. Why would management have it any other way when they save 3 to 4K a pop on travel expenses everytime a new hire bums a free ride. Enough said
