Seriously?

While their new CBA is not leading the pack, it's essentially an average of Kalitta and Omni's on the larger planes, and ATI/ABX on the smaller planes..... plus they retained the better work rules they already had. Your facts are just completely wrong. They are not doing 20 to 24 days, they have 16.... and they aren't always used all 16 either. Both of them will be Captains long before they would ever see the left seat at AA.

Most ACMI can go on vacation pretty much every month without ever using vacation time getting 14 days off straight. If we bid the transition right we get four weeks off without using any vacation time. What do you do? a four day trip with 3 days off, sometimes using your days off to commute? Great, get home unpack, have a day and a half then start getting ready to go back to work....

You need to face facts pal, the industry has changed, and many jobs now have great pay, benefits and work rules these days. If AA was such a score you wouldn't have to be bribing people to stay.
