Provided that I pass the interview with ABX, would you decline the regional and money that goes with it (at least for the next 2 years) and go to ABX?
How does a typical reserve line at ABX look like? Is it a solid block of 16/17 day's on or are the lines broken down in more manageable blocks? What are your minimum day's off? What do you pay for your health benefits for you and/or you and your spouse?
I’d do the regional to AA thing. Won’t take long and your future self would be thanking you. Future ACMI pilot contracts will be thanking you as well. I think these incentives at the regionals will be the best thing that ever happened to ACMI pilots down the road.
