To each his (or her) own. I've been here 4 1/2 years and am still enjoying life. I have a 747 perspective and fully understand that life is different on the 767. To be certain, there are things that can improve; particularly in the work rules area as well as stronger contractual language and beefed up retirement. Having said that, I still very much enjoy wandering the planet, the adventure of changing schedules and leaving home not knowing really where I'll end up.

It's been said in these pages many times before but this life isn't everyone's cup of tea. If you can deal with the ACMI life then this is a pretty good place to hang your hat. If not then I guarantee you will be miserable since this is what we do here. That's not said to cloud the issue, just an honest assessment of how things are. I'll also caveat that I am nearing the end of my career and only have five years left. Were I just starting out it would be harder to choose between eminently enjoyable flying over greater earning potential over the years.

Short synopsis: Take in all the information you have available and then fit it into your own personal goals and desires. Neither leaving or staying is an incorrect choice in itself. It all depends on your own situation.
