Many of the original Atlas guys were duped into transferring to GSS 2002
This turned out to be a very lucky choice...as they would have been made redundant (like all their former colleagues) in 2009 when Atlas closed the STN base and discarded all the non-Yanks as pawns in union negotiations.
Also, most were given a command...so it proved to be a VERY fortuitous decision in taking lower pay and conditions to move from AACS to GSS.
