bpp & best angle

BPP:
sorry, but again an incorrect fact:
All AABO are NOT on contract, they are employees of one of the Atlas companies.
Therefore your scenario starts already with an incorrect assumption and is therefore void.

Regarding the figures:
Of course are AABO crewmembers are as well flying all around the world on commercial flights - there is no difference as you know.

However, to get some compareable figures a "standarized" pattern has to be assumed and figures taken which are as close as possible to the real ones.

If we compare the extremes there will be the fact that sometimes the figures are just the other way round - but that would not be on a standard pattern.

And if you look closely to the figures and remarks you will see that I took only 1 commercial long haul Business Class flight into account, even as there are always 2 crossings US-Europe or v.v.
And as you know, there are costs for such flights ranging from somewhere USD 1.500,- to 3.500,-.

Skualo:
- fact 1: We at AABO got a job offered - we didn't set up AACS/AABO
- fact 2: We got the job offered as too few of Atlas US crewmembers accepted the offer to move to STN
- fact 3: If you would have moved to STN - the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time this was offered - you could be in the left seat for 9 years now.

==> Don't bash on the individual at AABO

==> Don't make the individual at AABO responsible for your decision

Best Angle:
It's hard to have decent discussion with guys posting such useless comments.
As everybody knows AABO does have no certificate, but the Atlas US and AABO crewmembers are flying Polar flights.
And it was not the point who has a certificate, there was something different.
Maybe you read the point again.
