This butthurt is starting to get old. Aren't you an ACMI pilot? If ACMI can't offer you what you want, then why aren't you at a legacy by now?
From where I'm sitting ACMI (ATI included) spanks every regional out there in the total compensation package. Sure it might not be an ultimate destination, but it's not a bad rung to grab on the way up. Frankly I don't know why ATI would need to even offer a signing bonus since their 1st year pay is significantly above ACMI competitors like Atlas.
A few of you on here seem to be super bitter that you aren't getting paid UPS/Fedex/Delta rates, and that ATI settled for something less even though you don't work there. So why aren't you at UPS or another legacy that pays you what you are worth? Vote with your ass and leave if you are that miserable.
