I do have a mate who flew for AAI and quite enjoyed it though.

For me, I've known nothing but cheap hotels, low per-diems and very dynamic operations up until my current employer. I must say that I greatly prefer where I am now, but I have no problem with, and did enjoy my time with the ACMI charter/cargo outfit's that I have flown with. For a person with low jet time, trying to acquire just that (as many big international contract operations require it), then perhaps I wouldn't turn my nose up at it too quickly. Hopefully you are single or your spouse is very understanding though.
