I wouldn't go as far to say that "no one would leave" for an ACMI when it is actually a pretty awesome opportunity.
This career is what you make of it. I was ready for a new adventure and I am glad I made the leap. I had a great time with MQ, but it was time to go add some more experience to my resume and learn something new in the process. For me, the value of experience outweighed the value of flow.
It must be coming up on about a year since the last MQ pilot flowed to AA. Are there any indications on when the valve might open again?
Fly safe!
I'm sorry but I'm taking this post for what I think it is. A total troll and complete made up garbage. If you REALLY were all the things you said, you would NOT be downgrading.
