Anyway, back to original idea, don’t sell yourself short. If you have an opportunity to go to an ACMI, go for it. You can always leave if that “dream job” with the transcon commutes and two days off in between trips leaves you at a (gag) crash pad on your days off.
Thank you for the insights. If I do get hired by Atlas then I’ll probably take the job. That works sounds so different that I cannot imagine it. The pay looks good after year one. It won’t hurt to give it a try
