^^^this. There is money in ACMI right now due to lower volume of pax belly freight. But long term I don’t think we can compete with the cost structure of most ACMI carriers. If you go look at their pay rates/retirement/work rules some of them (atlas and southern) are closer to the regionals than they are to us. EG a 12 year atlas 767 CA makes less than per hour than a 12 year 7ER FO at DL with a 62 hr guarantee for 17 days of work and a weak 401k (.50 on the dollar match up to 5%)
