If you are a regional guy looking for a shortcut to a major, ACMI is not it.
ACMI has several features which may be attractive to the right person. i.e. Long flights to foreign locations, per diem for 20 days, mostly really good co-workers, it doesn't take invasion-level preparations to go to the john in flight.
But you will get to a major faster by staying put, or if an upgrade is not looking good where you are, by jumping to another regional looking for DECs.
ACMI isn't a dead end, but it is a cul-de-sac. You can get by comfortably at one, but it won't take you anywhere.
