First off, if this sounds like a dumb question; I apologize.

The TL;DR is, do I leave an ACMI CA position (live in base, but on RSV) and go to a Legacy right now?

The reason I have been questioning myself here is mainly the uncertainty of leaving a stable job for a pax operation when the economy is slowing down. I've had friends say I should leave yesterday and others who are worried about the further implications that other transit systems have on the overall economy (i.e railroad) and how that might slow down passenger ops.

Like a few of us, I lost my regional job due to COVID but thankfully the ACMI kept me employed these past few years. I've been considering leaving since I've heard a lot of people say to never retire at an ACMI (no offense to those who do, just what I've been told) and honestly I don't know if I can survive cargo for the next 30 some years. Perhaps it's the underlying thought of having lost my job once at a passenger carrier has me thinking like this but I can't say.

So, am I over thinking, under thinking here? Heck I only have about 2800TT and I have no idea what is 'competitive' since I've been out of the pax sphere for a while. Any advice, analogies, proverbs I'll take anything.

Regards, Zack
