ACMI flying is different. THEY fly you from home. You stay out for in our (K4) case, 16 days. You eat and sleep uninterrupted on nice aircraft. Stay internationally in nice hotels. And work with great people. When done you go home for the remainder of the month.

Pay? We will have quite a few Pilot gross over 500k this year

Treatment? Our Union, and Chief Pilots office work very well together.

Upgrades? Just went to 1 year on certain equipment.

I loved pax flying when I did it. However I am still kicking myself for not coming to ACMI sooner
