Maybe you should be a team player mark rather than try to dress up a pig. It seems you just keep saying leave if it's so bad. What happened to getting on board with fixing the problems instead if running around acting like a cheerleader for a company that has stole thousands of dollars from your paycheck for the past several years!
Who says you are supposed to?

Appears the majority are not happy. There will always be a handfull of company cheerleaders that disagree with the majority. They would love for pilots to apply, get hired, and then bitxh that new hires can't fly an airplane.

I'd like to thank all the people who made this possible, especially my man, Jesus, and a special shout out to Lucy, and Peking Man. Thanks you guys. I couldn't have done it without you.

Next I'm gunning for that Geico opening. I hear it's so easy, a caveman could do it.

How did NetJets get in here? Also, why do NetJets pilots always travel in uniform on airline DH’s and NetJets spread everywhere? Stickers, bag tags, shaking hands, saying hello to everyone?

They airline directly into trips with no time to change.
The reason they introduce themselves in the cockpit is some pax guys got their panties in a wad about uniformed pilots in the back without meeting them despite the fact that they have full fare tickets.

For those on this thread that are Pro-ACMI, and argue that they are destination airlines, could you please give your reasons?

Why is that the only other choice?

Perhaps there are those who are comfortable at ACMI, that find it meets their needs.

Few would suggest that ACMI is their dream job, but then again, for some, perhaps it is.

Those who whine too loud suggest by default that they've never really had truly undesirable employment. Put another way, if someone thinks that ACMI is truly the nightmare some suggest, then they've lead a very sheltered life.

It’s been answered and discussed elsewhere in this thread within the past few months.
