Just don’t tell them how much you get paid cuz you’ll notice an even quicker round of laughter..... ACMIs suck ass, they pay ****, they treat their people like ****, and are literally detrimental to your health.. no disrespect to guys that work there. If your young, go to the regionals and get hired by a major. Don’t sell yourself short. Don’t think that you don’t deserve it. You DO deserve it!! Screw what some dude letting you ride in his jumpseat thinks of you. Seriously
With pax it was, commute to work, fly 3 or 4 days in different time zones with very interrupted sleep on aircraft, commute home then repeat in a few days. THAT was hard on my health.
ACMI flying is different. THEY fly you from home. You stay out for in our (K4) case, 16 days. You eat and sleep uninterrupted on nice aircraft. Stay internationally in nice hotels. And work with great people. When done you go home for the remainder of the month.
Pay? We will have quite a few Pilot gross over 500k this year
Treatment? Our Union, and Chief Pilots office work very well together.
Upgrades? Just went to 1 year on certain equipment.
I loved pax flying when I did it. However I am still kicking myself for not coming to ACMI sooner

Can international flying be detrimental to your health? Yes absolutely, if you do not watch yourself. Passenger international flying was way more tiring than ACMI.

I have two friends at Western Global, they seem to love it, living in Miami. They don't make what we do at K4, but they are home for more time.

6 whole posts to your name and not an element of contribution or value in any of them.
If you insist on consuming oxygen that others might use, make some effort to actually contribute to a conversation. Your failure rate presently is at -6.
