Guys,
Thank you all for the responses. It helped me a lot to have a glimpse of what I might expect in the near future after 4/5 years in the house. I thought about FedEx as well, didn’t know they have a base in Cologne, but AA is more my thing, not that kind of cargo guy. Having something between 18-21 days off a month (not in a row, obviously) I think it will work quite well to commute back and forth to Netherland. Once again, thanks for all the reply 👍🏼 Cheers!! |

With the amount of hiring and retirements you'll be able to do this very quickly within reason.. within a couple years you will easily have weekends off if you want it etc. The movement that will be coming soon will be pretty eye watering. |

Commuting from Thailand? Wooow.. That’s such a way longer distance compared to East Cost/AMS.
Thx for letting me know that, buddy! |

Awesome, thanks for the insights. Any idea what my seniority would look like in 4 years in CLT as well starting right now? (PS: On the Bus, not the 73) |
It probably depends on which ACMI. Probably worth staying at Atlas, if its Kalitta probably worth making the move.

I left a decent ACMI to come to AA. Do I regret it? Not usually, but I do often miss the days long layovers in Europe and Hawaii. I don't miss the company aircraft deadheads and pitiful 5% 401K match. If I could have stayed at the ACMI another 5 years to see the countries I wanted to, I would have. But AA called and I grew up in DFW so I decided to come over at age 39. I 100% wouldn't have come here if it weren't for the DFW base. I'm not sure how I'd would have commuted here. Some days aren't much better than a regional. I'm not sure if I'll get to WB captain here. Some say yes, some say no. Maybe my last few years. But now i'm a line holder if i work some weekends or I can sit reserve and get weekends off after less than a year. If you're going to commute I'd think about that long and hard. Maybe wait for the two cargo carriers to call? Another CA from my ACMI to AA and immediately quit to go back to the same ACMI. He's in his 50's though. Not sure his reasoning though. I didn't know him very well but he does start over there.
